"Cohen’s links to Dylan were obvious—Jewish, literary,
a penchant for Biblical imagery, Hammond’s tutelage—
but the work was divergent. Dylan, even on his earliest
records, was moving toward more surrealist, free-
associative language and the furious abandon of
rock and roll. Cohen’s lyrics were no less imaginative
or charged, no less ironic or self-investigating, but he
was clearer, more economical and formal, more liturgical."

— David Remnick in the Oct. 17, 2016, New Yorker ,
   
"Leonard Cohen Makes It Darker." The title refers to
     a new Cohen song.

Perhaps.

A phrase from the date of Jungreis's reported death —

Res ipsa loquitur .
