Hugh, I repeat,
I see no "horse" dead or alive , around, and I myself do not wish to be
funny or satirical.
Far from it. To be honest,
I see life and human
interactions and very tragic, stiff, ungenerous, oppressive, undervaluing,
immature, unstimulating, unproductive and unworthy, ect. ect. etc.#
(I was talking about exchanged jokes at the expenses of this and that and I
have
been more than ones the target of it in this list, even when unable to
react.
I don't care, I do not get offended. I am not sensible to it, and you are
welcome to
go on since I do not feel it as personal. ) If the dead horse was intended
to be metaphorical,
and you were alluding to me,
you must be right in a way...quite frankly, Hugh,
I am not even able to make
my old neighbor Reginald laugh.
matter of fact, when people laugh at something I am saying, it is never
for an intentional joke of mine. Their amusement remains a mystery.
Indeed, I am posting Marziale, his satire, not mine. Mine are only those
unrequested and unpaid translations for your to read which I am
nevertheless
making from Latin (my language)into a language (English) which is not mine
and that I do not master.
Satirical poetry and theatre?! I like it. That's it.
And I rather prefer this kind of poetry to that which make my heart ache
with pity.
I have had already quite a lot one reasons for weeping in my own life.
Therefore,
I read those poets who can transmit some argute insight into out common
sense.
No point in getting hungry, really.
