VERRRY good, Prop
Korzybski said humans as the symbol-using
animals get ruled
by those who rule symbols
Shelley called poets unacknowledged legislators
Vico said crystalized poems become laws
Does talking in fossil poems perpetuate fossil laws?
Why does Ez emphasize the renewal ideogram,
HSIIN, as much as CHING MING? |

I know less Dutch than any other European language.
Why? Because you never really need it -- the Dutch
ALL seem to speak English. |

?President Bush and a giddy Jacques Chirac shake hands on the deal.
BATON
ROUGE, LA. - The White House announced today that President Bush has
successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more
than double its original selling price of $11,250,000.
"This is
a bold step forward for America," said Bush. "And America will be
stronger and better as a result. I stand here today in unity with
French Prime Minister Jack Sharaq, who was so kind to accept my offer
of Louisiana in exchange for 25 million dollars cash."
The state, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, will cost hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild.
"Jack
understands full well that this one's a 'fixer upper,'" said Bush. "He
and the French people are quite prepared to pump out all that water,
and make Louisiana a decent place to live again. And they've got a lot
of work to do. But Jack's assured me, if it's not right, they're going
to fix it."
The move has been met with incredulity from the beleaguered residents of Louisiana.
"Shuba-pie!" said New Orleans resident Willis Babineaux. "Frafer-perly yum kom drabby sham!"
However, President Bush's decision has been widely lauded by Republicans.
"This
is an unexpected but brilliant move by the President," said Senate
Majority Leader Bill Frist. "Instead of spending billions and billions,
and billions of dollars rebuilding the state of Louisiana, we've just
made 25 million dollars in pure profit."
"This is indeed a smart
move," commented Fox News analyst Brit Hume. "Not only have we stopped
the flooding in our own budget, we've made money on the deal. Plus,
when the god-awful French are done fixing it up, we can easily invade
and take it back again."
The money gained from 'T'he Louisiana Refund' is expected to be immediately pumped into the rebuilding of Iraq.

Look at p 252 of the Cantos [end of Canto 51]
Two ideograms, CHING and MING
They reappear on p 333, 352, 382, 387, 400 ....all thru the
purgatorial Cantos...
CHING as noun means officer or regulator;
as verb, to rectify or correct
MING as noun = generalizations,
as verb, to generalize;
imagistically
moony language
When somebody asked Kung fuTse the first thing
he'd do if made Emperor, he replied
CHING MING
'noun and verb as one' |

If you don't mind your p.s and q.s the porter wlll sound like a quarter
Porter means inn-keeper in some parts of England
and tax collector in others. In 19th century Ireland
the owner of the inn in Chapelizod seems a porter
in both senses.

The luderman --
Synge invented a new language in PLAYBOY
by writing english words in Gaelic grammar
Does anybody, at this point, believe it possible
to take seriously propositions spoken in English
while thinking in a ludic language like Gaelic?
Cd Ez, Fenollosa and Bucky Fuller have
it right about alphabets placing
you in a different world than ideograms? |

signifying sadness

Hilary has a name based on hilaritas, cheerfulness

Bruno said hilaritas contained sadness and
sadness contained humor
