...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

Commentary, March 9, 2001 - Text from Korea, a Herd of Psychics on Larry King, Pop Psych on Today, Galileo's Day, and Bye-Bye to Triangles.... That plague of 1346 through 1349 killed about one-third of the population of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East � some 25 million persons. Note that due to ignorance back then, 650 years ago, "the full Moon" and "conjunctions of the planets," along with those eternal victims, the Jews, were considered evil influences. Happily, no one today would have these opinions, since we are enlightened to such a degree that we laugh at this 14th century folly. Right? (sound of crickets heard)
