Metaphysics, however, cannot enable us to attain by
certain inference from the
knowledge
of this world to the conception
of God and to the proof of His existence, for this reason, that in
order to say that this world could be produced only by a God
(according to the conception implied by this word) we should know this
world as the most perfect whole possible; and for this purpose
should also know all possible worlds (in order to be able to compare
them with this); in other words, we should be omniscient.

THE DISPERSION OF RAGE IN THE ERA OF THE CENTER
In the case of a pure Ponzi scheme, the
collapse
needs to occur relatively suddenly (or it needs to be brought about consciously) because the num- ber of momentarily recruitable payers necessarily becomes zero after only a few rounds--which is why, even with good camouflage, it is hardly possible to extend a game longer than a few years.

Howling harsh shrieking, mingling their bodies pain in burning anguish
Mingling his horrible brightness with her tender limbs; then high she soar'd *

Half Woman & half Spectre, all his lovely changing colours mix *
With her fair crystal clearness; in her lips & cheeks his poisons rose *
In blushes like the morning, and his scaly armour

A monster lovely in the heavens or wandering on the earth, *
With Spectre voice incessant waiting, in incessant thirst>

The hapless Nymph with wonder saw;
A whisker first, and then a claw
With many an ardent wish
She stretch'd, in vain, to reach the prize--
What female heart can gold
despise?

My flame, of which thou tak'st so little heed,
And thy high praises pour'd through all my song,
O'er many a breast may future
influence
spread:
These, my sweet fair, so warns prophetic thought,
Closed thy bright eye, and mute thy poet's tongue,
E'en after death shall still with sparks be fraught.

Do not put all your
goods in hallow ships; leave the greater part behind, and put the lesser
part on board; for it is a bad business to meet with
disaster
among
the waves of the sea, as it is bad if you put too great a load on your
waggon and break the axle, and your goods are spoiled.

Baudelaire's soul
was patiently built up as a fabulous bird might build its nest--bits of
straw, the sobbing of women, clay, cascades of black stars, rags,
leaves, rotten wood, corroding dreams, a spray of roses, a sparkle of
pebble, a gleam of blue sky, arabesques of incense and verdigris,
despairing hearts and music and the
abomination
of desolation, for its
ground-tones.
