And of course we'd talked about the famous story of the Dutch painter Frans Hals, who, after having a meal at an inn, shouted " I've left the money on the table" as he was leaving. And the innkeeper thanked him, since he saw on the table the gold Louis that Frans Hals had painted.

Then too, Gorey's slighter drawings... don't pretend to be anything but frivolous. Their breif length and drawing room scale are proportionate to their pleasures. They're the literary equivilent of a bite of truffle. The very act of putting them on the stage makes them feel overdone rather than understated, an understatement is the essence of Gorey's droll wit.

Balanchine spoke to Gorey on many levels. When the ballet master said that ballet, “like the music of great musicians... can be enjoyed and understood without any verbal introduction or explanation,” he was singing Gorey's song... As did Balanchine's impatience with what he saw as the reductionism inherent in critical attempts to articulate the “meaning” of his ballets. Gorey's sense of what's lost when we try to use words to nail down meaning was honed by his need, as an illustrator, to complement a text by saying something in images that couldn't be said in words.
