i am a heidegger apologist, in all honesty: i revere him;       and what could possibly be the reason?                       his reverence of poetry. in accordance with ezra - i too revere the art-form equally: in that i do not engage, in what, could be easily equated as sophistry; by saying that, what do i mean?              i am a practitioner of only one technique - bound to the seemingly never ageing, the truly never discarded   homer: in that, the same amulet of j. joyce's ulysses. hence, i am no believer in the talk of a protagoras of abdera, or a hippias of elis -                                       in that guise of sophistry we do encounter infantile poetry: a care for pun, a care for imagery, a care for metaphor; reference points that can easily take prestige in the colloquial.                           thus onto the prime point of reference with regard to: on reverence;                        NARRATIVE. - and indeed that is the only technique i value                 - it is that and, the very technical conceptualißations as thus staged, as i have already said, punctuation in words and between words.   thus? idle chit-chat       sparrow jargon cherubs of weak hearts this scholastic care for identifiers of said art,                     metaphor, pun           and whatever shrouds are in the possession of performers... sophists; in that, the basic concept of sophistry is it not simply rhyme? but how can this nail of a care's worth of technique, ever compare to the hammer of narration?
