The 'intuition' has no empiricism to it (forget brain psychologist probes -- they only locate impulses, not ideas).<br /><br /> Fate is coltish. When it's not feverishly bitchy or surprisingly generous!<br /><br /> We 'know' that somehow. The lady receiving the horse hooves is a 'real-life symbol'(!) of the Unprovable.<br /><br />(What have I been smoking?)<br /><br />TFoolTrulyfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13385653066007723233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673238941836727429.post-17656927107354115302011-07-17T10:37:34.899-07:002011-07-17T10:37:34.899-07:00Rick,

That's almost a Hollywood or television way of building an audience from the widest group of naifs.<br /><br /> You and I have some faith in literature, in story-telling, in poetic apercus, to realize that fictive structure, imaginative 'non-existants', can tell us a lot. Perhaps clear the brush from under 'the actual' in order to give it the meaning it 'really' has.<br /><br />TrulyfoolTrulyfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13385653066007723233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673238941836727429.post-177344090283146042011-07-17T10:33:08.337-07:002011-07-17T10:33:08.337-07:00Isabel,
