Philosophy likes to keen common sense on the run.
The grand style is available now only in old poems, museums, and parodies.
Rhyme and meter force gaps in meaning so the muse can enter.
History goes out of control almost as often as nature does.
Aphorisms have never seduced anybody, but they have fooled some into considering themselves worldly-wise.
Discontented women dream of being rescued by Prince Charming. Discontented men dream of finding a horny blond in the back seat ofa taxi.
