Hi all,
I say,
In the beginning there was the word !
No !! In the beginning there was the emotion !
Words are just recent phenomenons, they replace the emotion, like the
trot replaced the gallop, while the gallop is the natural way of the horse.
People learn it to trot. [ They] removed people from the emotional poetry
by letting him reason, that is to say, by letting him chatter, isn 't it !?
Louis- Ferdinand Céline
A lovely way to describe what ' memes ' actually do, don 't you think !?
Regards,
Kenneth
