Service announcement - weekly Lec

Stanislaw Jerzy Lec deserves to be remembered, and I have decided to make a small contribution to that end by posting a quote each week.













The Unkempt Thoughts, his book of aphorisms, was published in English only once. Still could be found, for quite a stiff price. But Lec was a poet, too, and there are no translations as far as I could see from a few futile searches.

No matter. Once a week, then, you will get one aphorism by Lec.
