Very bright idea!

It was only when I started to read an English translation of 
Goethe 'Faust' out loud that I discovered the most interesting
rhythm.


"All that philosophy can teach,
The lore of jurist and of leech,
I've mastered, ah! and sweated through
Theology's dead deserts, too,
Yete here, poor fool! for all my lore,
I stand no wiser than before."

Matt, I haven't been able to read fiction, except on this list, for 
many years.  I've tried various genres, but had no success.  I
tell myself that non-fiction is more fantastical story-telling than
literature, but I know I missing something.  Or maybe not.   


Much love,
          Marsha
