A triad of seques

  1. Pondering the delights of Pisistratus Caxton in Edward George E.L. Bulwer- Lytton's 19th century novel "WHAT WILL HE DO WITH IT", I thought of my preferences for labyrinthine writing styles....not so popular with the ADD generation that requires little logical sequencing or attention to detail....I remember having read BEOWULF in middle English for a HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE course during college days.......Perhaps the only current readers of such convoluted stuff are the Chinese writers of technical instruction books for the assembly of weed-whackers or the explanation of 200-multi-purpose buttons on high-end digital receivers.....in the attempt to master our language.....

2. This "reading" reminds me so much of the awkward speeches given by high school students.....as they stumble through notes about subjects of very little interest to them in the first place.....

3. "Das Volk der Dichter und Denker" do not occupy the space between inattendant rambling and  intellectual pretention; they generally hover like vacuum cleaners over carpets over floors.....
