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

So, Like, Now the Sixties Are Officially Over, Right?

In other legal news:

Nearly 36 years after a man was stabbed to death during a Rolling Stones concert at Altamont Speedway, investigators have closed the case, dismissing a theory that a second Hells Angel took part in the killing.

For the young people, here's a refresher on the event.   Or you could always watch the prosecution's Exhibit "A".

Irrelevant personal note: The Altamont Speedway concert and related mayhem took place on my fourteenth birthday; I was still living in Michigan at the time and not to be numbered among the hip.

George, do we need a disclaimer/disclosure concerning just when you started to be "numbered among the hip"? And, is time still on our side?

Objection: this is an improper compound question. And the first part assumes facts not in evidence concerning its subject's hipness.
