"Sondheim's story is a dense contrapuntal interweaving
of four main fairy-tale stories…."

in The Tech at MIT
Related material: "Weaver's Tale" last Sunday,

(Published in the psychedelic year 1967. The later "contrapuntal interweaving"
below is of a less psychedelic nature.)

(its value is permanent)." — Claude Lévi-Strauss, 1976
I prefer the earlier, better-known, remarks on time by T. S. Eliot
in Four Quartets , and the following four quartets (from
The Matrix Meets the Grid) —
