'Zooks, Robin, you give me far too much credit! I always tell you, as if
you couldn't gather it from my writings: I'm non-intellectual, ill-read,
misinformed, blatantly desirous of comfortable conformity, and deliciously
ignorant.
I can't argue by analogy if I don't even know what it is, can I? ;-)
And who is this Ezra Pound? Is he the Quaker you revered back in high
school?
You should know by now that arguing with a God-believer is just so Damned
frustrating. We always lose the logic battles; it would be impossible not
to. But we refuse to go away---and the best of us will listen and laugh and
still love you. Amazing, isn't it?
Yours,
Margaret Fell, George Fox's brilliant spiritual companion, administrator,
and rabble-rouser
