| To give another example from Sondheim, I'll always be in awe of the lyric "link by link, making the connections." In context, it has a triple meaning, all three meanings very relevant: (1) he's at a party to make social connections to fund his work; (2) his work consists of electronic devices that require literal connections to be made; and (3) art in general requires making connections of a more abstract nature, as reflected later in the show when the title character reminds himself to "connect, George, connect!" |
