...actor pretends he is a seed growing into a tree. Stewed Primes, the long-running revue at nearby Take 3, was so good that it moved into an off-Broadway theater. Caffe Cino, another Village place, concentrates on one-acters, is now doing something called Herrengasse, a Kafkan-Brechtian "sweet and swinging tale of the decline of the West." And Bleecker Street's Premise contains four young actors who do excellent improvisations at the drop of a hint from the audience...

The performances-by Victoria de los Angeles, Rosalind Elias, Giorgio Tozzi and Tucker-were generally first-rate. But to modern ears, Martha's music seems hopelessly dated and sickeningly sweet.

Reduced to prose, even great poetry is full of platitudes-life is short, love is sweet (or bitter), death is final. George Moore held that words have meaning only as signs of the things they stand for. Mallarme believed that all poetic meaning stemmed from words as sounds.
