Page 287 (#Latin)

Assigned reading (6 pars [] plus 124 notes) [secondary] [McH] [*]


synopsis: someone (Shem?) starts a geometry lesson mysteriously using mud, but is quickly interrupted by a defense of his bonafides






FDV: "Take mud. You take your river. Dump it at a given point to be called α but pronounced olfa. There's mud & α.
Now (he'd very frequently coached backward tending boys of the same and over his own age,"

preliminary translation of 1dv-latin:
come ye now without delay
while (fittingly in the language of the dead)
the Livian mystery of things yet unborn
is revealed
as we lounge by the fleshpots, wrapped in good vibes
observing filth
from which many roots will flower
let us turn over in our minds the wisdom of Giordano (Bruno):
all life flows like a river, the same anew,
knowing itself via others,
as a river embraces both banks of its brooks

2DV: "First, Take a mugful of mud. Oglores! What wd I do that for? That a gooses goosey ganswer you give so it is, what wd you do that for? Just for the beginning. You take your madder river mud. Any liffey mud will do. Dump it at a point of coast to be called α but pronounced olfa. There's mud island & α. Bene.
