All right. I thought I knew Spiros. But now since I know that this is from Spiros--and that I recite from memory "since feeling is first" every spring in my logic class, I feel an odd connection. I need a drink or two.
Why is every wv a pagan intelligible chant? ymenced Godislar
Spiros = Maurice Leiter?
You people have no idea the emergency we're facing. Only a Steve Best can save us now:

A lovely and less materialist take on Bacon's ode to Spring. Very nice.
P.S. May I point out that proving one is not a robot is not isomorphic with proving one has refect vision.

Um...following that suggestion, you realize then that
Maurice Leiter = e e cummings
Holy shit. So Brian Leiter is e e cumming's son? It all makes sense now!
This Be the Verse
by Philip Larkin
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.
