Unstrung Harp
Jul. 24th, 2002 10:08 pmI am feeling very Unstrung Harp (Gorey) today. Sigh. Also rather tired, due to being up late, probably. See, some problems do have workable solutions, such as go to bed earlier. (Carrying out such solutions is a different matter entirely, we note.)
I must get back to regular Japanese study. I have the books, darn it.
For want of better, a few quotes.

We apologize for the Princess Diana Page One headline "Di Goes Sex Mad" that is still on the stands in some locations. This issue was locked up last week before her death and went on sale Friday, Aug. 29, 1997. It is currently being replaced as quickly as we are able with a special 72 page tribute issue: "A Farewell to the Princess We All Loved . . . Di -- Her Final Hours" -- Apology on National Enquirer Homepage (www.nationalenquirer.com)

Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. -- Ambrose Bierce
---
The statement in the verse: "God descended upon Mount Sinai" (Ex. 19:20) and other such statements, are expressions from a human perspective: thus was God, praised be He, experienced by man... This is the mighty principle on which are built great matters - that God is experienced relative to the recipient of the experience... And if you say, according to reason we cannot speak of God as descending, consider then that man is not wholly a creature of reason. It is for this reason that descent is ascribed to Him - as man experienced Him. There is no need to elaborate here. -- Judah Loew of Prague, Kabbalist thinker
