Zero-derivation works out very well.
[1]
When monks go crazy
we send them to therapists,
and vice versa.
[2]
With respect to MIR
-- inscrutable provider --
we hang on His Word.
Inexhaustible.
Our end & our beginning.
Ineluctable.
MIR Admirable!
MIR Labyrinth of Mirrors!
MIR Eye of All Storms!
Fons et origo
in whom to be & not be.
alpha, omega.
Hic et ubique --
Encarta Dictionary
words beginning 'mir'.
[3]
When we say Amen
the priests of Ancient Egypt
smile & shake their heads.
The disc of the Sun,
Amenhotep's Creator --
his all-giving O!
Many pyramids
precipitating ZERO,
the great penny drops...
... and one loose cannon
carries the secret away:
God is policy.
Behold! Three persons,
Moses, Jesus, Mohammed,
are playing it out.
[4]
Apropos Shakespeare,
"The Phoenix & The Turtle"
touches MIR-acle.
I credit Shakespeare
with inventing, in "Hamlet"
Jesus for our time.
Shakespeare quotation
(irrelevant elegance)
doesn't deliver --
-- but Hamlet (qua Prince)
& Alice (qua Curious),
sane in their Denmarks ....
[5]
Alice Underground
is a member of the class:
Little Girls Naked.
Through the Looking Glass
(the eye-ball, that is) she sees
Dinah on the rug.
At tea-time (time t),
seeing Dinah on the rug,
she believes both are.
At t minus one
two Dinahs, inverted, were --
but incredible.
Now at t plus one,
Dinah seen, also believed,
co-exists apart.
I am in two minds
about this -- and much besides! --
you can bet I am.
There comes a time (t),
you have to fish or cut bait.
Bait is cut fish -- chum.
[6]
'Twixt earnest & jest,
Respectfully Submitted.
Ich kann nicht anders.
Thanks again for sending the Target Paper; I've enjoyed the trampoline
effect !
I'm very much obliged to you, & believe you know it.
