Dear Stanley N Salthe and All,
I am back to my duty from ten days hard work. Reliving from tired let
me come back to the breakpoint – Stanley’s poem echo to Emily – and my draft
reply as a new poem the same. I will finish and put out next mail – reply as
another poem is “The Song of the Computer” and another poem on Internet. These
two have send in our FIS years ago. And now “here a stay, and there a star”,
now “ struggling to affect each other from our slowly burning bodies”, let us
put these stars here again as a bunch of flower first.
Let this as my echo. We can image a Science fiction: long long after,
there is a country, there set such an law : if you have not replied an poet’s
poem at once, if delay five days, you are evil. So let me use an old poem echo
your poem as soon as I finished my heavy work.
Thanks for you poem. That is nice!
More reply and the new later.
Best wishes,
Chuan

主题: Re: [Fis] Chuan's reply7 - THE FRONTIERS OF INTELLIGENCE SCIENCE-- a poem &
the π-festival
Chuan, fis'rs
Here is a poem I wrote a couple of years ago:
internet fellowship
is like --
being in heaven?
we’re
disembodied spirits
struggling to affect
each other.
patterns of ‘on and off’ in the waves and wires
like cells in an organism
we’re disembodied spirits launched from our slowly burning bodies,
the fuel for our cognitions,
like charcoal for a flame
maybe this is (what) heaven (is like)
launched upon the embers of hell.

Dear FISers,
These days I am doing a heavy and important work that I can not finish
my respond mail. Though there are many ideas emerge in my mind.
Let me put a poem of Emily DIKINSON in our dear discussion.
OUR SHARE OF NIGHT TO BEAR
Emily DIKINSON
Our share of nights to hear –
Our share of morning –
Our blank in bliss to fill
Our blank in scorning –
Here a star, and there a star,
Some lose their way!
Here a mist, and there a mist,
Afterwards – Day!
1890
c.1859
For I thought of the image of “here is a star, and there is a star”
and looked for this poem to share here. Let us shine and share.
Dear Joseph, I agree with the Stanislaw Lem’s opinion.
Yes, she is right: afterwards – Day!
Tomorrow is π-festival – March 14 - 3.14. I celebrated aπ-festival
this afternoon. That is wonderful. And it is the birthday of Einstein the same.
Cheers!
Chuan
