Scope and Contents
Designated ICPA publication No.5. A loose sheet introduces definitions of ether and ethereal, e.g. an elastic and subtle substance believed to permeate all space... This phrase is printed without spacing on transparent acetate to overlay each of five poems for a Moire effect. The repetitive text of one broadside reads Lovetherealove... (matted); lack of spacing causes the words, love and ethereal to combine. A tautology present here reads: Every breath even now changes to ether divine. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
