Ah the profundity of it!!..And yet,contrary to what jasmine above has said- i swear by it, live by whatever i have managed to fathom of it(as of yet, and intend to continue living by my hopefully progressively more sophisticated understanding of it as life progresses)and believe it to be (easily) the most supreme piece of literature i have ever read
