To win by those most despised traits, narcissism, cleverness and oral
aggression.
I should have stayed home and watched the Odyssey!
I can't resist asking, "where's the inconsistency among Melville's
premisses about
Ahab and the whale?"
Madness and "greatness" arrive for many different and similar reasons. I
feel as if madness were being thrust upon me.
For the life of me, I don't see that the premiss "Ahab was mad" goes a
nanometer toward supporting Paul Toth's point.
I feel like Gulliver in Brobdingnag and I want to go home. Which reminds
me, irony and satire aren't incoherent either. Not that I want to put
words in Paul's mouth.
I don't like cake. Just Scotch and Alsatian beer. At different times of
the day.
