Assemblage
As we spend time with these wallflowers, they speak differently to each of us; the associations they embody are partly provided by each of us. Levi-Strauss quotes Franz Boas, another great anthropologist, to speak of the " new worlds" that are made from the " fragments" of history. St. Lewis' assemblages are worlds indeed, and as difficult to reduce to uniformity as the mundane world is.
