Why might the author have decided to name one of the girls Triolet (aFrench verse form covered in the poetry section of this book)? What does that choice of name suggest about the character of Triolet?

- Triolet is herself a living embodiment of poetry. “It’s a verse form,” she says, in explanation of her name: “Like me” (par. 95), and then, “I am a poem, or I am a pattern, or a race of people whose world was swallowed by the sea” (par. 99). Everything about her is suggestive of poetry. Her profile reminds Enn of the half-masks used in his school production of the classical verse tragedy Antigone by Sophocles (par. 97), and he says that “five years later I would have thought of the Pre-Raphaelites, of Jane Morris and Lizzie Siddall,” the wives and models of the poet-artists William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. In the manner of the ancient epics, the history of her race is preserved by being given form and pattern in her; and this knowledge, which would otherwise have been irrecoverably lost, is then passed on to others, who, having experienced it, are changed in subtle, unnoticeable, but indelible ways.
