... the movie looks it was filmed by a rhesus monkey with a video camera. The
editing looks like it was performed by a rhesus monkey with a Cuisinart.
Apparently, if you're a rhesus monkey, you can really go places in Hollywood.A book is a friend whose face is constantly changing. If you read it when you are recovering from an illness, and return to it years after, it is changed surely, with the change in yourself.An unsophisticated forecaster uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts - for support rather than for illumination.But he shaved with a shell when he chose,
'Twas the manner of primitive man.Grass of Parnassus, flower of my delight,
How gladly with the unpermitted bay -
Garlands not mine, and leaves that not decay -
How gladly would I twine thee if I might!
He missed an invaluable opportunity to hold his tongue.He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp posts - for support rather than for illumination.Life's more amusing than we thought.Our youth began with tears and sighs,
With seeking what we could not find;
We sought and knew not what we sought;
We marvel, now we look behind:
Life's more amusing than we thought.There's a joy without canker or cark,
There's a pleasure eternally new,
Tis to gloat on the glaze and the mark
Of china that's ancient and blue;
Unchipp'd, all the centuries through
It has pass'd, since the chime of it rang,
And they fashion'd it, figures and hue,
In the reign of the Emperor Hwang.
Here's a pot with a cot in a park,
In a park where the peach-blossoms blew,
Where the lovers eloped in the dark,
Lived, died, and were changed into two
Bright birds that eternally flew
Through the boughs of May, as they sang;
'Tis a tale was undoubtedly true
In the reign of the Emperor Hwang.You can cover a great deal of country in books. |
