Bark and Catfish Skin. Japanese swords have virtually no parallels in Western art. Only one shape in our cul ture seems to rhyme with the strict parabolas of a tachi's profile: Brancusi's Bird in Flight, with its soaring curvature, immaculate surface and absolute finality of line. The resemblance is not merely formal. Just as the abstract contour of the Bird is rich with allusions to nature, so the blade contains landscapes...
...interested in the Depression film, hit this. And if you're interested in Harry Langdon, hit this. And if you're interested in the musical comedy form, likewise.

In a fit of moral fervor, the town fathers in Longboat...

This song is not an ornamental time-waster but an essential piece of narrative; it enables Bassanio to choose the right casket (the one made of lead) by listening to the rhyme-words--"bred," "head," "nourished." Perhaps Portia couldn't sing...
