...jazz will use parts of a familiar tune to take off for bluer skies, Rivers is content to borrow bits of the old masters or leave parts of his painting unfinished and out of focus.

By this, he is leaving hints at the process of art as a form of living improvisation...
...gift from the late James Newbegin Jarvie, a New Jersey coffee-and-sugar millionaire, the 31-year-old Jerusalem Y was designed by Arthur Loomis Harmon, architect of Manhattan's famed Empire State Building.

Then the black and white men of court return and Aegon thinks of "Lesbos when...
Trouble was not long in coming. The lights were extinguished and then put on to reveal an eye-catching curtain by Buffet in somber tones-predominantly black, white, blue and ocher. The sets and costumes soon made it apparent that Buffet had succeeded in stripping the usual Frenchified elegance from the opera and restoring some of the wildness of Spain in the 1820s. The 400 or so local fans perched at the top of the house (in "Paradise") began muttering as soon as Tenor Martell sang his first line, started shouting when he nervously hit a clinker...
