In addition, the again-ironical demotic use (that great leveller, that bringer-low) of classic, to mean ‘perfect or ideal in its dysfunctionality’, seems to shadow the line. Other examples of outrageous co-presence of a literal and an undercutting idiomatic interpretation include the observation, in 6:2, that the naked Saint Sebastian ‘catches his death’ from the arrows piercing his body, and that (6:4) his situation is ‘priceless’. A particular characteristic of these two-valued expressions, where a high serious sense is undercut – or made more poignant – by a low mocking one, is that the ironizing Babel-toppling effect is instant: no sooner is the idea of pricelessness invoked than it is undercut; no sooner is the magnificent Titanic launched than it is sunk.

Even before we try to make continuous sense of the section, we can see a lexical pattern around the idea of fullness.
