...experience turned her into a serious poet. "Writing was my mute outcry," she once said, and in her six slim volumes she evoked the tragedy of the Jewish people with what the Nobel committee termed "lyrical laments of painful beauty." Her style was unrhymed, psalmlike, rich in symbolism and metaphor, as in O the chimneys...
...Right. Here is a ritual the spectator is being led through-we're guides. In Terminal we talked about being as well, but not quite in the same way. Terminal is really a meditation. It's our meditation of death as a political metaphor. We have come to the point of calling on the audience to meditate on the same themes.

...clue to an outstanding musical is one grand guiding metaphor. Company makes Manhattan a metaphor for marriage. Manhattan is an island of anguish and delight; so is marriage. Manhattan is an incessant roar of competitive egos; marriage is a subdued echo of the same. Manhattan is a meeting of strangers; marriage is a mating of strangers. Manhattan is a war of nerves; marriage is a ferocious pillow-fight battle of the sexes. The links do not stop there. The tempo of Manhattan is a kind of running fever; modern marriage runs a fever, and the partners are always taking...
