"I don't believe in sacred cows," he snapped. Dame Margot of the moon-white skin spent a night in what Panamanians call "the presidential suite" of the jail-and was then deported...

George, who "was concerned with his roots" and who "recognized he had no sense of himself" is a familiar figure in the coffee houses, but he gets into one of the stories in the Passionella volume only by virtue of the fact that he "lived on the moon--no kidding."

Critic Duncan Phillips notes that in one picture Eilshemius "symbolically depicted himself as adrift, all alone, in a fragile bark rushed along by the fierce currents of wild, rapid waters which swirl around an island under a witching moon.
