The first time, before I had a journal, my post was:
An eye most apt in gelatines and jupes,
Berries of villages, a barber's eye,
An eye of land, of simple salad-beds,
Of honest quilts, the eye of Crispin, hung
On porpoises, instead of apricots,
And on silentious porpoises, whose snouts
Dibbled in waves that were mustachios,
Inscrutable hair in an inscrutable world.
(Wallace Stevens, from the Everyman's compilation)
Today it is:
"Of course, I can still understand my boss's point of view."
From L'Etranger, by Albert Camus
