         "I, one thing, as relation to one thing;
          Hui sees relation to ten."
                       (Notes for CXI)

Wei - Don't you ever have just a little glimmer of doubt about the number of
relations you see? I have been more interested in observing the comments in
postings you have avoided than the ones you have addressed. The former have
been those which would have led discussion away from your thesis (as someone
called it) which has become the dominate feature and almost the only one of
this list. Everything else gets dismissed or buried under the glut of your
endless presentations and defenses. And don't try to construe this as
censorship, not from this heretic.
    As far as your summary judgment of Pound goes let me say that , yes, it
is shared by some, but more and more these days the old dead horses of
propaganda are getting flayed less and less, and even this weekend in the
National Recreation Area in which I live I saw in a National Park
Headquarters tent a hiking-book being sold with these words on the fly-leaf,

                   "Learn of the green world what can be thy place"

Wouldn't it be a good time for you to take a hike?

Pawel - five lines down from that one-

                   "The green casque has outdone your elegance."

The chrysalis of the  Monarch butterfly is bright green with gold spots like
buttons down its sides as if an alchemist had been there working. Prague was
a center of Alchemy. What about Poland.

                    "Pull down thy vanity
                                 I say pull down"
