I'd be happy to provide you with a sterling, beautiful example, Erwin old
boy. Just send me $350 American, and I'll mail you a print made with
precisely the technique I described. As you'll see, it's gorgeous. If you
were to allow yourself of a modicum of poetic license, you might even say
it...glows.

Don't thank me. My pleasure.
