imagination
bernhardt needs my recognition of his alterity to even raise a desire. he has grown out of the candy stage. disappointment and failure make stone faced men out of the softest of boys. a hand waving firework show of mediocrity just does not do it for bernhardt. not that he is desensitised; a firm ram up the clacker or a shock to the left testicle is perhaps a little much for him. no it is something much more subtle that really does it for bernhardt.
