The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived

This writes "seeing through" as a cold eulogy: not a curse, but shrinking someone to negligible. Haven't you, after love died, suddenly seen he wasn't that tall?

Near-trial calm for a "I enlarged you, now you're just a man" relief. Taylor writes contempt icy and exact. You'll exhale — lowering the idol, you stand straight.
