Figures of Speech

Figures of Speech is a collection of over 1,500 quotes (and growing) from famous figures of our past. Giants from the past worthy of our remembrance. Co-authorship is recognized on each speech act (blog post). As these tidbits of romantic tendencies arise, 'ent-sprechen' emerges and the reflection subsides, ephemeral yet less so as we culturally transmit the Logos of learning and all that we value. 'O sepi to poli' is courtesy of Aristotle.

My Beloved

by Ovid in Figures of Speech

Sometimes I also come up blank, rarely so do I not have a responsion or something to counter with, being witty, contradictory or clever. When wit fails and stairs are blank, sometimes the best response is from a blank slate. The canvas is yours my friend, the only theme is a pedadoggy!
