“Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer.”

#OnlyConnect

Ah yes....rubber, cars, West Africa and E. M. Forster,
#HOWARDSEND
..as in Said and Jameson.

Hence, connecting '....across space. In Henry’s office Margaret views a map of Africa, ‘on which the whole continent appeared, looking like a whale marked out
for blubber’'

As mentioned earlier I’ve been digging for more Tom Sturridge content to stream lately. That led me to catch up with Oliver Assayas’ HBO show Irma Vep… I’m several eps in and TS hasn’t yet shown up, but the show has a real Lost In Translation/Clouds of Sils Maria vibe that I like.
