Aqua vitae

Bruce Lee = DFW. Because yes. We all knew it. DFW's stentorian "This is Water" address? 

Cf. (supposedly) Bruce Lee: "You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend." Thanks GoodReads.

Granted, this is pretty standard Taoist fare. But still. DFW = Bruce Lee = awesomesauce. Read the Tao Te Ching earlier this summer. Must needs blog more.
