Hi George!!
No way, LOL!
I just threw that stuff in there for G.P. Just defining the terms, you might
say, and found it as an agreeable definition of what Emerson was saying. If
you never contradict yourself, your either leaving no trail to be tracked by,
or your never finding new and exciting worlds to conquer. In an adventure,
there is nothing wrong with crossing an old path once or twice over, so long
as it gets you to a fresh horizon.

The good parts of a book may be only something a writer
is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck
of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other.
