Damn! That is good! Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Bell network. From: Short Poems and Other NonsenseSent: Monday, March 27, 2017 10:09 AMTo: juliamcgeown@sympatico.caReply To: Short Poems and Other NonsenseSubject: [New post] linguistics
I do like these little gems you keep providing us with. “Lo bueno, breve, dos veces bueno” (Gracian, Spain, 17th C). That which is good and brief is twice as good. You are in good company.
That’s because I speak Spanish and read wonderful Spanish literature. Not many people are aware of the great Spanish classics of the 17th Century. I translate them and appear to be original … Cervantes alone is an incredible source of wisdom. But I am getting old and very forgetful now. Thank you for your support. And a double thank you for your own original pearls of wisdom. They are much appreciated.

thanks mom, I love you!
Poor little ineffectual brain … you are so right – the smartest brains I have known are inept at listening to the heart and soul of themselves.
well put, I have definitely been victim to this
Moi aussi … as you probably gather 😞
