OP <sigh>
going back to the beginning, "The distinctions we draw between past, present, and future are [as] discriminations among illusions."
what caught my eye (and what I was alluding to with 'hypercorrection') is that Wolfe *switched from using between to using among in the midst of a simile. I guess that since no one seems to have picked up on that it has to be considered an effective figure.
