Dear Stoner,
Yourself is one word, and you're projecting. Also "Relavence"?
Mr. Moyer
p.s. Sorry about the grade, and I wouldn't read those awful broadcasts.
They'll just depress you more like looking at all those hairs that grew in
Emerson's ears. Try that fine rather new collection of Pound's prose. You
can get it at Border's or Barnes and Noble. I almost bought it tonight, but
I have all the pieces in the original volumes except for those selections
from "The ABC of Economics". They have the Cantos two.
So why do you suppose Nietzsche admired Emerson so greatly?
