Waiting for yet another email from my curatrice./conservator. Them legs are a janglin'. I have a feeling that my luck has run out this time. Neverless, I did well playing the system there for awhile. #cunning 😜

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
Tricks and Treachery are the practice of Fools that have not Wit enough to be Honest.
[Les finesses et les trahisons ne viennent que de manque d’habileté.]
François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶126 (1665-1678) [tr. Stanhope (1694), ¶127]

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
The surest method of being deceived is to believe that one is cleverer than others.
[Le vrai moyen d’être trompé, c’est de se croire plus fin que les autres]

Hard poem, but reflects how I feel these days…
Acid - #MaryOliver
In Jakarta,
among the venders
of #flowers and soft drinks,
I saw a child
with a hideous mouth,
#begging,
and I knew the #wound was made
for a way to stay alive.
What I gave him
wouldn’t keep a dog alive.
What he gave me
from the brown coin
of his sweating face
was a look of #cunning.
I carry it
like a bead of acid
to remember how,
once in a while,
you can creep out of your own life
and become someone else—
an #explosion
in that nest of wires
we call the #imagination.
I will never see him
again, I suppose.
But what of this rag,
this shadow
flung like a boy’s body
into the walls
of my mind, bleeding
their sour taste—
#insult and #anger,
the great movers?

“Cain sired evil cunning man-killers banished from heartlove born in hatred giants and fiends jealous man-eaters long without penance.”
A quotation from Addison, Joseph:
«
Content thyself to be obscurely good.
When vice prevails, and impious men bear sway,
The post of honour is a private station.

Dear Friends of posts I #wish to #boost, :hearthands:
Increasingly I have to #write them myself. #Why? Too much ego and #gunk (and that is just me) What is ego gunk? :thinkSpin:
- Opinion,
- FAQS from fans, fanatics and fawnings
- Addictively interesting (oh you naughties - I am trying to give up my addictions)
I have a #cunning plan. I would #share it but I think my post is already long enough … :ablobwave:
A quotation from Euripides:
«
I always fear less a dull man who is naturally strong
Than someone who is weak and clever.
[ἀεὶ γὰρ ἄνδρα σκαιὸν ἰσχυρὸν φύσει
ἧσσον δέδοικα τἀσθενοῦς τε καὶ σοφοῦ.]

I'm not sure what made me just remember this story from my late mother's aunt during the war, 1stWW I think...
She met her later husband not long before he was sent overseas. They came up with a cunning plan for sharing his location with a postcard and a map of the world which they both had a copy of.
The map had a tiny pin hole pushed through it and the card to tell her his location, she matched her map up with the received card! Clever huh 😏
