“And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”  - William Shakespeare

​Just read a silly rhyme:  Jack and Jill went up the hill, to fetch a pail of water.  Jack fell down, and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after.  Hmmm...  perhaps that’s why they put water in bottles today?????

​Raymond Aron said ‘What passes for optimism is most often the effect of an intellectual error.’  Huh!  I have matches; I have webbed feet; I have a beak: what could possibly go wrong......?

James Branch Cabell said ‘The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.’  I’m a duck in a slow-cooker: so who’s the optimist and who’s the pessimist then????  (And try quacking that with a beak...)

​Robert Lindner said ‘Conformity, humility, acceptance – with these coins we pay our fares to paradise.’  That’s why I like orange tomatoes...are they last of the great individualists?????

​I’ve heard it said: an apple a day keeps the quack away!  Thomas Carlyle said “Mirth resting on earnestness and sadness, as the rainbow on black tempest: only a right valiant hearth is capable of that.”  So I’m resting in a bowl of apples.....or is it ‘on’??????
