a fool in the forest

Epigraphs

  • A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the
        forest,
    A motley fool; a miserable world!
    As I do live by food, I met a fool
    Who laid him down and bask'd him
        in the sun,
    And rail'd on Lady Fortune in good
        terms,
    In good set terms and yet a motley
        fool.

    As You Like It,
    Act II, Scene 7

    L'homme y passe à travers des
        forêts de symboles
    Qui l'observent avec des regards
        familiers.

    Les Fleurs du Mal,
    “Correspondances”

    [T]here is almost no subject-matter, and what little one can disentangle is foolish....
    One would call the style verbose, except that by definition verbosity is the use of words in excess of the occasion, and there seems to be no occasion.

    Yvor Winters,
    Forms of Discovery, Ch. 7

From the Fool Family Compound in Hiatus-port

Posting was light this past week thanks to the necessity of clearing my desk so that I could slip away for a few days' family vacation. In consequence of those vacation days, posting will be light this next week as well, especially because it has been decreed that this will be a computer-free trip. (A perfectly reasonable decree, that.)

Do please check back despite my physical absence. I have a small handful of items pre-posted to be published as the week rolls along -- there is a fresh Shakespearean double dactyl for Monday, among other things -- so that the site won't stagnate entirely. And I promise not to bore you with photos on my return.
