Dear Kasper - I do understand your beef. But isn't it also fun to have
things thrown at you & start re-configuring your mental space? Almost
everybody postures in some way - Randolph sort of suggested that &
wondered why it's got such a bad name. There may of course be a saint or
2 on the list (please b/c, I need your help, Master!)... As I find
myself drying up after a very minor dribble of poetic activity in the
last 6 years, I occasionally feel the need to compensate for that, and
lacking any real intellectual capacity (we all know who on the list
possess that - and I'm genuinely envious of them, as well as of the
*really* nice people) I throw out (or up) a chunk or two of useless
semi-learning as a way of staying alive.
I also agree with Randolph about Finnish - it looks & sounds lovely,
give us some!
"Noyau" means stone or kernel - I have no idea what Robin meant by that.
Anyway, please feel free to ask about anything.
I wish I were 19 again - as long as I knew what I know now, of course.
Otherwise I'd fuck it up again.
Gute Besserung!

Got to look at it at sunset when it's PINK
My guidebook said. Good advice about anything I suppose.
