Against Brother Beluga's Jobean pals, who, at the end of Frag. 3 assert that "Christ spoke in fables to enable others to understand," I hope our lonely birchbarker would have recalled, if not to them, then in some further mad parable, Christ's words in Mark 4:12. From these, too, arises the child's voice at the end of Frost's (another birchbarker and -bender) late poem "Directive": "Under a spell so the wrong ones can't find it, / So can't get saved, as Saint Mark says they mustn't." And so neither must we tell...
My favorite part of the Witz was Bert Lehr's confabulation at the gates of the Emerald City which reminds me of someone, but I cannot quite put my paw on it.
Come on you two. Edwin-Rainer worked very hard on this piece, and I know he appreciates getting comments that reflect that. He does not know who Joshua Cohen is. He does know that “Witz” is the perfectly ordinary German word for joke, and is discussed at length by Kant in the “Analytic of the Sublime” section of the Third Critique.

a Witz of a different color
I thought the author of Witz was named Joshua Cohen?
