my head is swimming
how do I link this:
STRANGER:
To distinguish the name from the thing, implies duality.
THEAETETUS:
Yes.
STRANGER:
And yet he who identifies the name with the thing will be compelled to say that it is the name of nothing, or if he says that it is the name of something, even then the name will only be the name of a name, and of nothing else.
THEAETETUS:
True.

Question mark.
And besides this infinitesimal problem, a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Alex (Chomp Chomp is a goooood place), a salivating mouthful of praise for Cheryl's wonderful pics (tell me where and when you will be in Italy! I might be there around then too!), a miss-you-too-poke for Jo, and a I-left-a-message-on-your-blog to Frances *hee*

tis assignment's intriguing i must say--
Accding to the Cambridge International Dictionary of English:
"Narcissus", a noun, refers to a yellow, white or orange flower, similar to Daffodil.
"Metamorphosis" is the process by which the young form of insects & some animals, such as FROGS, develops into the adult form (e.g. In the transformation of a tadpole into a frog, METAMORPHOSIS happens gradually."
the picture stood out as 2 structures that seem alike to human bodies:
One Yellow Man with his head bowed upon his knee;
One White Man with his head also bowed upon his knee. They look alike & yet they aren't alike. One common pose they share is the famous "thinking man" position. Head bowed & deep in thought.
Background has a chess board. Chess board gives the impression of thought.. or so my conjecture says...
