[MD] The Dynamics of Value

[MarshaV]

Adrie,

My father-in-law was born in Spain in 1903.  Sometimes he would recite 
poetry to me in Spanish, and then translate it into English, and then 
explain some of the play of Spanish words against each other.  I think 
he delighted in these episodes; I loved them too because they seemed 
like sharing a special secret.  He recited a poem he had written once
for a woman he loved.  Ahhhh.  Besides experiencing the beauty of the 
Spanish language, these little lessons emphasized how much I did not 
know, nor would ever know through denotation or connotation or theory.
