"Eternal Wrest" will have to do with reenacting with a twist as a constant generator of originality.

I had a continual dream throughout the AM night about finally meeting up with Sue Dixon again. We never really talked in the dream, certainly not like we used to. For the record, in 1975 we started architecture school together, and very quickly, though independently, became close friends with Dave Schmitt, a fellow classmate. Ultimately, in the years after Dave's death in 1994, I learned an awful lot about Piranesi from Susan. And then I started learning things about Piranesi previously unknown. And then our friendship continued no more.
At noon I told JP that "today" Miers Fisher is reading last weeks newspapers, learning about some voter fraud going on. Then I pointed out the window and said, "Look, he's reading the newspaper right over there."
To be more precise, the erasing, drawing/designing, and re-etching of the Campo Marzio circus plans is all primarily the work of Laura Piranesi. What Piranesi did was "inscribe" the Latin name to each circus plan upon its etched completion--a "sign" of his approval.
Simply put, Laura Piranesi is co-author of the Ichnographia Campus Martius's second state.
