"I learned very early on that content and subject are two

Good point, which Kivy seems doesn't get.

Having gone to school,  I learned very early on that content and subject are
two different things.  I know this is very hard for Miller to understand but
subject matter is the name of the thing and the content is what it can
symbolize. The cloud that looks like a whale may therefore symbolize a content
-- always in some contextualized matrix -- that is not a whale.

So if Miller thinks my interest in allusiveness is simply to conflate subject
and content he is, boringly, mistaken.

It never fails to amaze me how Miller stampedes into error, like the prideful
knight who rode furiously ahead, impaling himself on an enemy's pike just to
show his courage.

It's the same kind of "content" that William finds in abstract paintings, and
that Hamlet and Polonius found in a passing cloud. (camel, weasel, or whale)
