Helva's class was doing Fine Arts, a selective subject in her crowded program.

Her subject was large -- a copy of the Last Supper -- and her canvas, small -- the head of a tiny screw.
She had tuned her sight to the proper degree.

Helva's hum then had a curious vibrancy, a warm, dulcet quality even in its aimless chromatic wanderings.
