She leans out, over the beautiful mountains, and calls, "Iph-i-gen-ia!" (Echo: "Iphigenia, Iphigenia.') The camera zooms down the mountain, music swelliing, Iphigenia whirling around into the frame, arms outstretched, and suddenly we are in the midst of The Sound of Music.

Echocardiography can, for example, measure heart-muscle thickness, detect valve abnormalities and even show an image of the heart pumping on a TV screen-all without surgery or other invasive techniques

Many lines in "Echo's Bones" and "Malacoda" remind us of that airy, disjointed dialogue in Waiting for Godot and Endgame. Beckett's poems are filled with much of the same choppy, incomplete, grammarless phrases that characterize his prose and dialogues. Yet there is still that cryptic element...
