What are we getting at? That before the slightest phrase established itself in his conscience, it first had to go through hell and high water and then traverse dire straits. No matter where it came from. But where did it really come from? Here’s what, at times, espe-cially on days of inspiration, rather intrigued Babis’ mind.
