Took a while but got there in the end and what a cracker it was. I loved some of the clues - in particular 6 down. Many thanks to Artix

Hello Twit-Who,
I also took some time to get there. Only a few words I was unaware of this week, but all were clued fairly, and reference to the BRB confirmed them. I spent quite some time looking for the second shape of 6 lettters, then realised I had to look for true symmetry, but I do not appreciate grid gazing anyway. I was also delayed a while by using the wrong letter at the fourth position in the second word of the phrase in the perimeter. Although I actually found the quotation by use of the perimeter rather than the encoded movement of the first letter of down grid entries. My turn this week to be the pedant, I rather think ODQ has taken liberties with the translation of the quotation in its original language, in particular the word that turns the SE corner. Having said all that I did enjoy solving this EV.

Hello DocHH,
ODQ is not perfect by any means - I seem to remember that it recently had the wrong spelling of an author - can't remember who she was but EV put up an apology with the solution.
I'm glad you missed the other link too and it's not just me - it might have something to do with it being under Art & Literature instead of crosswords.

Twit-Who, Art & Literature is a complete anathema to me, there is no way I would hop onto that section of AB. Am off on holiday next sunday so will be missing for 3 EVs. Before you ask our destination, I'll give a clue. I will be reading an A&L classic, "Tequila Mocking Bird". Time for a preprandial!
