Len Fehskens on repeats: >It's a "fact" that repeats necessarily mean this? So, an architect who >repeats a motif is lazy or suffering a lapse in the creative process? >Repetition is never a legitimate structural device? Len is right, I believe. Another point: anybody who teaches knows the importance of repetition in getting the message understood. As some preacher is supposed to have said: first I tell them what I am going to tell them, then I tell them, then I tell them what I have told them.
