i am not sure how to make sense out of any of what this all means.
i mean, there is a sense of this being a definition-discussion, but that
would
mean some effort if being made to concretize what meanings make the most
sense,
wouldn' t?
it seems sensible to wonder if words have meanings, and that writing about
what meanings "mean" is a meta-lingual search?
i;m not sure. i mean, this doesn't make sense.
but then i haven't the canonical sensibilities to grasp the meanings,
perhaps.
what would jane austen think?
