Prose
This bee – not only at 10:27 – does not necessarily know that overproduction of food does not necessarily feed the hungry. Why? |
The answer, my friends, is blowing ... |
... in the wind. |
Life is life. |
A rose ... |
is not a rose is ... |
... not a rose ... |
... is not a rose ... |
... is not a rose ... |
... is not a rose ... |
... is not a rose ... |
... is not a rose. |
Got it? |

Some grains of corn
Monsieur Rousseau whose 300th birthday is being celebrated today – well, more less than more – like many others gave evidence that he who writes a lot not seldom does write a lot of rubbish, such as
• Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
• Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
However, being no blind hen one could find some grains of corn, so to write.
• People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little.
• No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
• Ordinary readers, forgive my paradoxes: one must make
them when one reflects; and whatever you may say, I prefer being a man
with paradoxes than a man with prejudices.
• However great a man's natural talent may be, the act of writing cannot be learned all at once.
The peace of the night.
