"Only one thing wrong with this poem, it's too short mate"
Well freshmen have short attention spans!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"all are handicapped by him."
I spent three hours per week in individual study for a semester each on the pure and the practical. My head always was hurting afterwards. Sometimes we would not even get through a page. There are many stories about Kant, but one of my favorites goes,
Kant was on his way to work and was stopped by another man. The man said, "Herr Professor Kant I truly enjoy your writing and I would read more if I only had another hand." Kant somewhat taken aback replied, "I believe your meaning has escaped me." "well you see sir," the man responded, "As I start a new paragraph, I put a finger on each new point, but before I can finish the paragraph, I have run out of fingers!"
Thanks for the read and the discourse!

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
