Excellent!  I knew about the poetic pairing but I didn't connect it to
Nicholas's divided brain (one of which is *silent* while the other
does the talking!).  Also, I should have linked to the page on DoDI:

As I say, it's just a beginning, but I think if we can get some people
together with a little expertise in the areas I listed, we could
really make some headway on interpreting this story.
