Continuing Master Motif =>
….LISTENING TO THE WIND (2 of 5).
…… “Sparks … Drawn By The Wind .... "

The ZMM Narrator Tells Us All The Details About The Fine Evening At The DeWeese Home, Including A Whole Mini-Lecture “Speechifying” On =>
…. “The test of the machine is the satisfaction it gives you. There isn’t any other test. If the machine produces tranquillity it’s right. If it disturbs you it’s wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed. The test of the machine’s always your own mind”… . There isn’t any other test."
….Which Continues With Assembly Of Rotisserie Or Bicycle =>
…. “But if you have to choose among an infinite number of ways to put it together then the relation of the machine to you, and the relation of the machine and you to the rest of the world, has to be considered, because the selection from many choices, the art of the work is just as dependent upon your own mind and spirit as it is upon the material of the machine. That’s why you need the peace of mind." And Late, After All The Guests Have Left =>
…. “After the party is over and the Sutherlands and Chris have gone to bed, DeWeese recalls my lecture, however. He says seriously, "What you said about the rotisserie instructions was interesting."
....Gennie adds, also seriously, "It sounded like you had been thinking about it for a long time."
...."I’ve been thinking about concepts that underlie it for twenty years," I say.
....Beyond the chair in front of me, sparks fly up the chimney, drawn by the wind outside, now stronger than before. (Continued next.)
