- ... occurs in the story when the person cannot find the head because almost all sensory perception went along with the head. In the end, the person says, . . . I guess Ill sit down / On this rock / And rest for just a minute . . . . (p. 25). The rock, as the picture accompanying the poem shows, turns out to be the persons lost head.

Some were plotless (Company), some characterless (Pacific Overtures), one went backwards (Merrily We Roll Along). But, as his onetime choreographer Michael Bennett put it, before you can break the rules, you have to know what they are - and Sondheim knows America's cultural heritage better then anybody. Follies (1971 ... Sondheim collaboration reached its apogee, blurring the distinctions between lyrics and dialogue, songs and underscoring, and combining a complex plot with operatic emotions to create a unique musical thriller. But their next show, Merrily We Roll Along (1981), flopped, and the two men went their separate ways. Sondheim turned to the author and director James Lapine for Sunday In The Park With George (1984), a work that seemed at times an ...

- ... bud and at home/ Like a sprat in a pickle jug" gives an impression of immense comfort and security. This sense of comfort is picked up again later, in both By Candlelight ("Balled hedgehog," "I rock you like a boat",) and Nick and the Candlestick ("wrap me, raggy shawls".) It is emphasised by a feeling of enthusiasm and satisfaction: "Right, like a well-done sum." The mother feels that what she ... showing her contentment due to the baby being able to cry, and her satisfaction with regard to its experimental use of sounds. In By Candlelight, the persona returns to the comforting tones seen earlier ("I rock you like a boat",) only this time she seems much more scared.
