...head lowered, breathing heavily and nearly knocking over the concerned Berenger. It is chilling to hear Jean's headstrong rhetoric take on the animal tone of totalitarianism. "I have a goal, I charge straight at it... We must reconstitute the foundations of our life. We must return to the primal integrity..." Though Berenger appeals to him in the name of civilization and morality, Jean is unstoppable. He charges the walls, grunting almost incomprehensibly, "Let's demolish all of that!

In the catchy newborn nursery anthem This World Is Something New to Me, kids may understand the line "This world is such a gas!" followed by an impolite noise, and the baleful "I can barely hear myself suck!" but not the pouty "I miss my old womb," and maybe not the exchange between...
