The sandman has arrived, and I want to at least briefly answer ...<br /><br /><b>Andrew</b>,<br />glad you enjoyed what you read. And thanks for telling.<br />As for the "Ulysses", I echo Stan. As for 'Patience': The Chinese compare it with a tree the roots of which are bitter; its fruits, however taste sweet.<br />In a way one could say the same about the book.<br />Coming to think of that shared patience is patience halved. What about reading some chapters to the Big Guy? :)<br /><br /><b>Stan</b>,<br />you see me blushing, my friend. Thank you very much. Now there's already one potential reader I'll do my very best, in the hope it will get considered good enough. :)<br />As for the déluge:<br />Chun 'uil tuile ó mheud nach d-traoghann / However great the flood it will ebb.<br />I hope it did not cause any harm and / or a sleepless night? Have a relaxing Sunday, Stan.<br /><br /><b>jmb</b>,<br />after this short experience you will be able to imagine what happens in my head, permanently.<br />Yes, Mylady. Just try it. You will see: Wondrous are the path of thinking.<br /><br />Thanks for your good wishes, and a most pleasant Sunday for you and the <i>old scientist</i>.Sean Jeatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978285783271305489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-40879166035562501192009-11-21T21:08:22.636+01:002009-11-21T21:08:22.636+01:00Oh, oh.

Sean, I would read a whole book of this. <br /><br />Speaking of which, I will say to Andrew, for what it's worth, that I didn't read <i>Ulysses</i> until last year, and was glad I had waited.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03386875624025404452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-89487853249852071822009-11-20T12:18:39.742+01:002009-11-20T12:18:39.742+01:00I enjoyed that, and having read to the end it mean...I enjoyed that, and having read to the end it means I have read farther into your stuff than I ever managed with Ulysses.
