The Devil is in the Details . . .
In Response To: Re: Mark-how about details? ()

The “Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and SayingsEby Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996) shows this phrase as a variation of “God is in the details EWhatever one does should be done thoroughly; details are important. The saying is generally attributed to Gustave Flaubert (1821-80), who is often quoted as saying, ‘Le bon Dieu est dans le detailE(God is in the details). Other attributions include Michelangelo, the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and the art historian Aby Warburg. ‘The Devil is in the detailsEis a variant of the proverb, referring to a catch hidden in the details. 'Governing is in the details'’and 'The truth, if it exists, is in the detailsEare recent variants. Listed as an anonymous saying in the sixteenth edition of Barlett’s ‘Familiar Quotations,Eedited by Justin Kaplan.E

I'll provide the details later this weekend . . . once they are finalized.

And for some reason it appears that some letters in this post are in Japanese characters. I'm not sure why . . . it might have something to do with how Yuki has the computer configured. Irrespective, I trust that everyone can figure out what the letters are supposed to be.
