Well, it is amusing to watch Share's mind...I wonder if she was following mine.
The word "methinks" is one used by Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote of paradox
and, if you will, "wondrous paradox." And on this topic of paradox, from the
book "Shakespeare and the Paradox" we find the following: "Whatever else it is
designed to do to incite its audience's wonder, the paradox dazzles by its
mental gymnastics, by its manipulation even prestidigitation, of ideas, true or
false. The rhetorical paradox is, further, paradoxical in its double aim of
dazzling - that is, of arresting thought altogether in the possessive
experience of wonder - and of stimulating further questions, speculation,
qualification, even contradiction on the part of that wondering audience."
Of course, she did not answer my first question, which was "how did her
comment relate to Emptybill's post?" This was the most important question for
her, of course, and she dismissed it, but...she is where she is.
