You had so much fun with this. Thank you! C.J.

"Ir was too much" refers to the nature of sardines as food. You always eat them with bread, or tomato, or a salad, some type of side dish, because it has a very strong taste.

Sardines is a palimpsest. Most of the poem and description of the painting refer to palimpsests. Current experience erases previous experience yet leaves a residue. Both the poem and painting could be called palimpsest or reside. Referring to them as "meta" is a stretch - it has more to do with experience or, as the professor points out, it's about the process. Looking at medieval manuscript art, there are palimpsests and marginalia that area as meta-meta as a poem.

That was really good
