What to Expect From a Passage

Captions available

The idea

Verse more often than prose, an argument rather than a description, at least one elaborate figure, inverted syntax, and two or three words in shifted senses. Five expectations, and each one points at a craft unit that has already supplied the tool.

In practice

Five expectations, five tools.

Where people slip

Each points at an earlier unit.
