braces / > bretel

During opening nights one or other visitor usually is in for a joke. Witness the following farcic entry in the visitor's book saddling crox 75/crox 76 (Denys/De Cock): Expression is the backlashing braces of Thought. And vice versa! Signed: I.F. Draaimars.

And a certain E. O. adds: This sheds a whole new light on darkness!

[translator's note: I.F. Draaimars can be interpreted as "I.F. Turnmarch". It is almost certainly an imaginary name, possibly partially an anagram. In the original the backlash is done by one of a pair of braces, a 'bretel' - no precise English translation possible.]
