lakoff-feldman! i took a class from lakoff. he's THE metaphor man and a smart scientist to boot. Alan T of ILE (I think) knows scads more about his collected works than I do. And nabitsuh's former employer publishes Lakoff.

Try William H. Gass's "World Within the Word" or "Fiction and the Figures of Life" for metaphors -- and theory -- as thick, heady, and refined as v.s.o.p. cognac.

Yes, Mr. Crewes, we hear you... OK, how about "musing" then?
