------------------ I don't have much to add at the moment, save to say that
the description of the lead pencil is quite a tour de force.
As for the 'mnemoptical trick', I am wondering if the red/green trope is
a reference to MacBeth's making 'the green one (the water) red (with
Duncan's blood)'? That might be very fanciful, but Shakespeare is
mentioned later in the chapter.
