On Poets


"Yet what did Zarathustra once say to you? That the poets lie too much? -But Zarathustra too is a poet.
Do you believe now that he speaks the truth here? Why do you believe that?"
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra (trans. Adrian Del Caro)


















I realize that some of you Quakers out there might be thinking, "yes, we know you're reading Nietzsche--but what canst thou say?"
Here are a bunch of cartoons: that's what I say.




Mr. Miro too is a poet; do you believe now that he speaks the truth here?

Why do you believe that?

I seem to have left out a name in the final cartoon: shall we have a guessing game?
(Which is to say: do you think you have ESP?)

Well, for Mr. Miro's sake, I hope feet are just feet if Satan's to be hanging out down there waiting for a good crushing.
