What is this repetition of Cs all about?
The placement of Calendar and Continent at the start of their lines – both words that begin with a stressed syllable, thereby drawing attention to themselves in that position. I mean, the text is simply demanding that those two words be the centerpoint of this sentence. Card, too, supports them there.
Is Osric meant to be crow-like? Cawing?
Calendar, Continent, Card – they don’t necessarily go together conceptually.
But the sound…the sound.
