| Gee, if Sondheim wants to be embarrassed about a lyric from WSS, he could easily zero in on this one: Tonight, tonight The world is full of light With suns and moons all over the place |

| There’s a recurring motif of astronomical references in both R&J and WSS. I love each one, for the way it evokes the original source, yet couched as love-drunk, poorly educated young people might say. I think WSS does have its share of purple passages, but not that one. Laura |
