    It would be more or less impossible to be less interested
    than I am in the image of an inverted tree which - no matter
    how exotic its origin in Indic writings - seems, nonetheless, 
    an awkward & unbeguiling one.  But even to ME, there's 
    all the difference in the world between an inverted tree
    & an inverted forest.  But, as I said before, Salinger is never
    satisfied with one perfect word where twenty contrived ones
    can be dragged in.

    Now, if it had been Petrified Forests....
