And let me add a bit of mathematics -- for my friends (both gay and straight) who love to play with language:
A recent New Yorker article ("Go Ask Alice" by Anthony Lane, 6-8-15,48-54)
on Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) offered this quote -- this "found" poem:
Obtuse anger
is that which is greater
than right anger.
This year, 2015, marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of the first edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
