The flavor of the whole is perhaps carried by the statement of
Yoshie's father (translated from Japanese) at the reception; this was
his first visit to the u.s. since Yoshie came here, and he said that
after seeing how much she was loved by so many people, he was at
peace... Carrol

Congratulations Yoshie and Mike. But, gee, I have to wonder at the
disjunction between the radical hardcore Yoshie---heart of forged
commie steel, take no prisoners---I have long come to enjoy, and the
no doubt sweet looking woman dressed in white, whom her father adores
and husband admires.

Makes my wine soddened brain wonder at the rest of you devils, raving
loons, cold cynics, the plotting discontent, grumbing harbingers of
resentiment and injustice, and the exotic birds who wonder through the
list jungle possessing netherworld plumes, who suddenly turn their
predatory eye to incisive vision when I least expect it. Are these
merely les auteur d'autre vie?

Certainly the best of spectacles for a dinner party at the
Karamzov's... Why do I imagine Carrol at the wedding feast as the
ancient mariner?

It is the ancient Mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three,
`By thy long grey beard and glittering eye, 
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?

....

But enought of these darkling themes. 

All the best.
