Fleumaticus ~

Sluggy and slowe, in spetinge muiche,
Cold and moist, my natur is suche;
Dull of wit, and fat, of contenaunce strange,
Fleumatike, this complecion may not change.

Sanguineus ~

Deliberal I am, loving and gladde,
Laghinge and playing, full seld I am sad;
Singing, full fair of colour, bold to fight,
Hote and moist, beninge, sanguine I hight.

Colericus ~

I am sad and soleynge with heviness in thoght;
I covet right muiche, leve will I noght;
Fraudulent and suttill, full cold and dry,
Yollowe of colour, colorike am I.

Malencolicus ~

Envius, dissevabill, my skin is roghe;
Outrage in exspence, hardy inoghe,
Suttill and sklender, hote and dry,

Of colour pale,
My name is malencoly."

"Today, books are everywhere!

How many books do you have at your house?
Probably quite a few.

Now, here's a question for you ~
How many of them were made entirely
By hand?

In the Middle Ages, books were as rare
As jewels and as precious
As gold because they were made
By hand."
~ The Philadelphia Museum

"Folio ~ A sheet of writing material,
One half of a bifolium.

The front and back of a folio are referred to
As the recto and verso,
Respectively.

The numbering of leaves, as opposed to pages,
Is termed foliation and is commonly found
In manuscripts.

'Folio' and 'folios' (or 'folia')
Are often abbreviated as f. and ff."

'The captain was a duck.
With a packet on his back.
And when the ship began to move,
The Captain said, 'Quack, quack!'"
~ Duckhorn

"But was it a wish, or was it a dream?
Or a nice chilled goblet of chocolate milk,
Drunk eagerly, lapped deliciously, sucked elegantly
Up a red ~ striped straw,
Swallowed, gone down, fine as silk?"
~ Merryvale

"Well it's not too hard to figure out, really,
If you wake up, rubbing your eyes contentedly,
The next morn, kick off your covers fitfully,
Sport a crooked smile, wink wickedly, a blink
And a nod, sigh cheerfully, but wistfully,
And say to me ~

'I wish I had an ice cream.'

I do believe you've dreamt a dream
Of chocolate milk, but I've no clue what it means,
Except to say ~ Liquid light you drank
Last night, and now for breakfast, you desire,
Your appetite aptly stroked, frozen fire.

Yes, you desire an antidote to what you drank
Last night, that made you drunk,
A cure for this morning's hangover now you crave,
Your daylight request. Or, my best guess.

So that's a wish. The only thing is that
If you say ~

'I REALLY need an ice-cream'

It means you've asked for a chocolate ice-cream
And been told you can't have one,
Already in your dream. Or so it seems.
But it really means ~ Try Vanilla ~ !"
~ Etude

"Or mix'em up together, both chocolate
And vanilla, a black ~ and ~ white swirling
Spiral striped Zebra ~ !"

"An origami paper sailboat,
Sailing over the rippled shimmering sea
Of the reflecting pool,

Riding each crest and wave,
Tacking gracefully into the wind,
With the swans

Origami enfolded, unfolded
So as to create a wish,
Or reveal a hidden structure,

Implying a structure something
Like this ~

I want an
ice-cream ---> No! ----> I wish I had an ice-cream

There is a 'want' and a prohibition.
A wish is the result.

Also known as ~
The Proposition of Opposition,
The Parallelogram of Power."

Stroll across The Origami Bridge."

"...This shop of ours displays various antidotes, drugs,
fomentations, ointments, and remedies, according
to the differing mental capacities and natures of men.

If in some way they happen to displease you,
pass over these, by all means, but do not for that reason
repudiate the rest. Finally, if you do not approve
of astronomical images, albeit invented for the health
of mortals ~ which even I do not so much approve
of as report--dismiss them with my complete permission
and even, if you will, by my advice.

At least do not neglect medicines which have been
strengthened by some sort of heavenly aid, unless perhaps
you would neglect life itself."

"There we find ourselves
In mirrored alleyways
Lining each port of call,
Among reflections
Timeless and complete.
When we make love
Nothing supernatural
Happens, only us
And minor miracles of light."
