Good one, Ed

Tony Barnstone 06-21-2016 05:45 PM

Go, Ed! Love this one.

Ed Shacklee 06-21-2016 09:58 PM

Thank you all again. I'm scuffing my shoes here. There are some shrewd guesses here about what the last line is about -- I think I'll pretend I knew about the Schopenhauer quote during any future discussions, thanks, Richard -- but I like free range chickens, myself, so as the old proverb goes, "Let the hand of discretion pass over the mouth of the wise." Or as I told Jeff Holt recently in a different context, "There are some things man was not meant to know."

Best,

Ed

Do I gave to do everything for you , Ed?

You have double reason to be "quoting" Browning here:

ROBERT BROWNING: Well, Miss Barrett, when that passage was written only God and Robert Browning understood it. Now, only God understands it.

Fair enough, John, haha! You have it about right.

Thanks. Since revised and lengthened, of course. :)

Best,

Ed
