But the only unfailing source of power and passion in the play is the bravura performance of Geraldine Page. Whether she is thrashing about in bed crying for her oxygen mask after a days-long vodka-and-goofball binge or clawing apart her hired paramour's tape-recorded blackmail scheme, Actress Page is just what the character she plays fears, "the tiger in the nerves jungle."

The predominantly grey coloring of his pictures does not give a colorless effect but, like a pebble in a stream bed, hints at a glistening multitude of hues. Grey Borders (see cut) reminds Tàpies of a "well-raked garden in a Zen Buddhist temple," but he is quick to point out that he saw a photo of such a garden only after finishing the picture.
