I'm no Wittgenstein nor philosopher
   I am not a party to 'the case'
   philosophy wrestles clumsily with words and meaning
   therein I have neither voice nor place-

   a thought should be concise and clearly expressed
   stripped of mystery and ambiguity-- simplicity is the highest grace
   it's unclear whether good Ludwig did fully understand
   his Tractatus Logico Philosophicus^ or wrote it in a mental haze.
* 'The world is all that is the case'  Ludwig Wittgenstein
