Apollo was called Delian from Delos, the island of his birth, and Pythian from his killing of a serpent, Python, which once lived in the caves of Parnassus.

Thus “Presto” begins: “Sartre rasped, ‘Oulipo retops Aldine spares/ Repots Delian tropes, repads spared traces.’

“I can understand both sides,” Delian Asparouhov, a principal at the venture firm Founders Fund, tweeted.

A previous version of this piece misstated Delian Asparouhov's job title.
