from J

funny kathy's assignment re. daedalus - i was reading up on him this morning and wondered if the clown/air traffic controller wasn't also daedalus several things intrigue me in addition to the icarus story - one seems to be that his genius/artisanship was the very thing that kept getting him into (and out of) trouble [he was almost trapped by the labyrinth
that he created, he exposed himself to minos by solving a puzzle]
another, perhaps a little more overwrought involves daedalus almost killing his nephew b/c his skills were approaching daedalus's, maybe there was something similar w/ icarus, ie icarus flew too close to the sun b/c daedalus planted the idea (to remove the competition)

J's assignment for lisa: instructions from falconer to falcon (some sensical some nonsensical) and maybe it's the falconers instruction that cause the falcons to fly out of earshot thus:
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
