I was telling my spouse the thing about how Cocteau named the characters Heurtebise after an elevator company.

Me: Well, it was more like, he was in an elevator, tripping on opium, and saw the manufacturer’s name plate and was like “Yes, that’s the name of the voice that’s in my head right now.”

Andrew: He must have been “small” at the time. (https://genius.com/Steve-martin-lets-get-small-lyrics)

Me: Yeah Cocteau liked to “get small.”

Andrew: Because that’s the kind of thing that happens when you’re small.

Me: One time, Cocteau got so small, he climbed into an inkwell and fell asleep in there.

Andrew: Until someone dipped in a quill and accidentally stabbed him.

Me: Fountain pen, but yes.
