Thanks very much for your interest. Yet, 11 November is a surrealist poem in prose about the surrealist end of a surrealist poet. As any piece of art, it carries its justification in itself and does not admit logical dissections. It may trigger marginal reflexions, like that about the nonsense of wars, but they may only be discussed in separate threads, not in that dedicated to the poem itself. It goes without saying that I would participate.
Thanks again Amicalement Georges. --- On Thu, 11/13/08, AMA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: AMA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [epistemology 9741] Re: November 11 > To: "Epistemology" <[email protected]> > Date: Thursday, November 13, 2008, 10:17 AM > "the defeated Emperor, " > > Did any country really win the war? > > I guess there was only losers. > > 10 Million people killed. > > A whole generation of kids raised by their grandfathers... > > Paul Valery : > > " Nous, civilisations, savons maintenant que nous > sommes mortelles" > > A whole civilisation disapearing.
