Now Roger, that's lying:
 
           (,:'gr') E. 'the grass is ',:'always greener'
        0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
        0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
           
           (,:'gr') myedot 'the grass is ',:'always greener'    NB. For any 
def, 'cept the last, which gives  0 0
        |length error: myedot
        |   */"1 x    ="1(#y){.(#x)[\y

(before anyone suggests it,   myedot"_ 1  is not right either)

However,  E.  is readily modelled:

           Edot =: [ -:"_ _1 (];.3~ $)~

           (,:'gr') Edot 'the grass is ',:'always greener'
        0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
        0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0

Or, if you prefer a  \  solution, here's  \  generalized to multiple dimensions:

           cut_3 =:  (] <@:|:\&>~ ({~ #@:$))^:(#@:[) <    NB. <;._3
           Edot  =:  $@:] {. <@:[ = (cut_3~ $)~ f.
           
           (,:'gr') Edot 'the grass is ',:'always greener'
        0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
        0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
