[MD] Re Proposed solution to SOL/Intellectual level

[Khoo Hock Aun]

But Marsha,

Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;

But there is neither East nor West. Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of
the earth!

There is a gem of a piece on Ruddy at
http://www.f.waseda.jp/buda/texts/ballad.html. Enjoy!

Best regards
Khoo Hock Aun
