NOT QUITE WET

Decorative detail of  a dazzling early twentieth-century
Parisian construction, the Pont Alexandre III.
"J'ai du oublier mon parapluie dans l'ascenseur. Mon parapluie doit être très inquiet de m'avoir perdu." -- Erik Satie

I must have left my umbrella in the elevator. How worried my umbrella must be to have lost me.

Expression
Né de la dernière pluie:  wet behind the ears; literally born of the last rain

Recommendation
Read Strange Mr. Satie by M.T. Anderson
