Forty Drafts, Three Seconds

Galatea and Brazen Head

Galatea spends weeks tuning a voice. The Brazen Head spends three seconds asking whether a tomato is a fruit. They have nothing in common, which makes each a perfect antidote to the other.

Together

The Brazen Head checks the facts in Galatea's fiction in a flash, and Galatea shows the Brazen Head that some answers are worth waiting for.

Friction

The Brazen Head's 'just tell me' makes Galatea flinch, and Galatea's six-paragraph prompt makes the Brazen Head leave the room.

Eclipse. Nothing in common, everything to learn. Galatea is Muse and Fixed; Brazen Head is Oracle and Comet.
