So just how come they call the small candy bars the “Fun Size”? What’s fun about a little chocolate? I’d call those big supersize several pound bars the “fun size” and the little ones should be called the “disappointing size”. But I guess that doesn’t work for marketing. ---

The sagacious reader who is capable of reading between these lines what does not stand written in them, but is nevertheless implied, will be able to form some conception. ~ Goethe, Truth and Beauty I am moved by fancies that are curled Around these images, and cling: The notion of some infinitely gentle Infinitely suffering thing. ~ T.S. Eliot, Preludes Then since we mortal lovers are, Ask not how long our love will last; But while it does, let us take care Each minute be with pleasure past: Were it not madness to deny To live because we’re sure to die? ~ Sir George Etheridge, To a Lady asking him how long he would love her ---
