Honoured Apothar,


A causes B.

B causes C.

A is A substantively.

A is B paradigmatically by first order.

A is C paradigmatically by second order.

B is B substantively.

B is A iconically by first order.

B is C paradigmatically by first order.

C is C substantively.

C is B iconically by first order.

C is A iconically by second order.

All is well, and all manner of thing shall be well.

Honoured Apothar,


Deep is the desert, and long is the day.
Far has the Wanderer wandered.
High has the vulture flown,
Over dune and qarya,
Over ridge and oasis,
In the trail of the Pilgrim.

Green is the garden, and cool is the night.
Sweet is the Wanderer's respite.
Much has the heron seen,
In the gathering stormcloud,
In the pooling of waters,
In the wake of the Pilgrim.

And you and I, my friend,
Have waded the ash,
Have sifted the sands,
Have tasted the Water of Life.

O! my old friend,
We have bottled the Moon,
And scarfed up the Sun,
And swallowed the Stars.

And you and I, my friend,
Have met once before,
And shall meet again,
And name all the Names
And dance in the ash
At the feet of the Pilgrim,
At the End of the End.
