    This segment was pure joy. Mr. Morris is extraordinarily articulate and adorable, and the images and all too brief bits of his marvelous works left me hungering for more. Fortunately, I will see his Romeo & Juliet, On Motifs of Shakespeare this week.

    Thank you for the archival footage! I loved seeing young Mark cooking in his little apartment. Thrilling and civilized, indeed!
