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

. . . but, he won't carry them after he (purportedly) shoots one. hmmmmm.

What's the difference between a Goose and a Snake. A snake is an asp in the grass...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Now I know why I voted the way I did!!!

Rick, Wasn't that original a lawyer joke?

As one of the few non-lawyers around here I wouldn't dare.

That update reminded me of haiku past:
