  1. Academia - yuk. Those words that few understand and most find intimidating.

  3. Elisabeth,

    Ah, the groves of Academe:

    ON THE GREEK STYLE

    No accursed p.c.
    groves of academe

    for me, a myriad
    of aberrant cicadas

    trilling on

    a million twisted
    olive trees.

    But "Logic 101" isn't just about Academia; it's also about what may happen to our thinking faculty as we get older.

    Joe,

    It's revealing you should mention Parmenides, the author of one brief, bizarre and puzzling poetic work--a thinker whose influence on western philosophy remains unrivaled, thanks to that "arch-enemy" of poets, Plato.

  4. For me, one thing about logic is certain: I am in over my head, even as the contents escape.

  5. William,

    That's logical--it's just your poetic safety valve heading off disaster by letting some high-pressure steam escape!
