Ha! ha!  I had intended not to post any reply to the request for so-called
"lines", but this does remind me of a hilarious anecdote that really
happened, and I did sort of meet a MOTOS by way of it...

Usually on the rare occasions when I goto rock music concerts, I wear
rifle-range hearing protectors.  Well, at one of these, this MOTOS-type
person was sitting next to me, and she asked, "do you know what time it
is?" and I said... "I can't hear you!  I'm deaf!" and pointed to these blue
things sticking out of my ears.  Thereby I met the only person besides me
who I've ever known who knew what the lyric "on the passing light of easing
have you seen you inside midst the being of everyone" referred to... (this
was a Yes concert) (though I never did see her again after that concert.)
