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

You Would Cry, Too, If It Happened to You

Durer's Melancolia I: Some Days You Just Can't Win, eh?  Out for two days of colossal tedium in a deposition.

Returned to discover mysterious conditions keeping principal computer from functioning.

Diagnostics in progress to see whether the situation can be salvaged without undue loss of difficult-to-restore data.

Numerous other matters requiring professional attention (by me, not yet for me).

Having no fun just at this moment. Posting from backup laptop.

Regular posting -- which will include thanks for those who linked here in the past few days -- will resume as soon as practicable. Meanwhile, as is so often the case, Albrecht Dürer says it all.

Awwww. So Sorry! But, cool pic!
Love it, but not your misery *grin*

I will avoid making disparaging comments about Windows.

Agree with Pattie, though. Cool pic!

Windows: "I haven't got time for the panes!"
