Will you pluck your sword out his pilcher by the ears? Make haste, lest mine be about your ears ere it be out could have said my grand-Father who lived in the vinicity of sweet Verona as a genuine Italian.
There are some benevolent, learned and yet humble people on this site. I'm prone to "withdraw" hastily whenever.... Sorry if you were somehow scratched by my luxuriant remarks. I'm sure you did not mean to cross swords-only to benefit from the pacific lights of these well-versed people.

Dear Chomat,

I'm down.I was stumbled at the threshold. I'm feeling me like a small fish in the great pond (please read "forum").I think, I'm not fully fledged for adequate participation yet.

Your last remark was as well luxuriant as the former. But you have to know that I put good sense in this word: fruitful, productive, teeming, copious.In the latter remark I've found 5 total new for me words and a incomprehensible expression. Would you be so kind to help me about the expression "by the ear". Is this "to act accordingly to the circumstances, improvise, as in "He plays his negotiations by ear, going into them with no clear or fixed plan".

I'm not scratched by your remarks. Quite the contrary , I'm flattered to attract your attention. To be frank, my apologize for my scanty, broken English. I know , little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Verona. Venetia.

Excuse me, but I'm afraid, you could be a hear presumptive of Napoleon. (I allude to your French-Italy pedigree. I should behave towards you with due attention.(I hope you have a sense of humor).

I might mention a few words about Catullus,Odoacer, Charlemange and the della scala family, which was recalled in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Julia, but I shouldn't take advantage of your good nature.

[CHOMAT]

No I have no sense of humor, but I 'm flattered to focus a humble man's attraction. Why do you apologize for your English which is flowery and fluent ? Am I presumptuous to answer you ? My French-Italian pedigree ? Romeo and Juliet ? Charlemagne( latin magnus) . I'm truly impressed by your knowledge and honoured you mentioned so many familiar references.
I'd like you to develop your words little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You 've given me the wings of curiosity even though you pretend to be a... fledging.

Hi Homath, I shouldn't think that the written from you in last remark concerning my English was true. I was unsure of o.s. because a few days ago I was reprimanded from a honored moderator of this forum about my "countless" errors in my post. So he had snap off my wings just in beginning my posting. Openly now I'm needing some encouraging.

And now something about the words "little knowledge is a dangerous thing". Very simple, if you have little knowledge you would make many errors by writing and you will become many raps on the knuckle. And now a more complicated interpretation. "The half -knowledge is worse even than a full lack of knowledge." Also "Learn to creep before you leap" or "Learn to say before you sing." If I don't have command of language or if I don't wield a skill pen, I shouldn't speak or written. Otherwise there will be a disaster. The "little knowledge" might be connected with the Nietzsche's theory for "little people" and "little thing". But this is another subject.

I would want to be skillful by writing like you.

You are witty and your style is cogent. I'd like to master Bulgarian as well as you use English. The funny thing about little knowledge is that little and great work by means of comparison . Consequently , everyone has a little knowledge compared to someone else's. Therefore knowledge is bound to be dangerous. Or is little to be understood as trivial or common? I would then understand your reference to Nietzsche. We would then stand in the core of the subject . Let us see ourselves gliding over Zarathoustra's high paths.
Nobody is entitled to reproach you for your so-called countless errors. I would not. I did not mean it If you believed so.
Cheer up !I'd be glad to converse with you upon philosophical subjects for which you seem to have a liking. Besides, there are people on this site who are learned, helpful and give you encouragement.

Hi Chomat,
I have already expressed myself gratitude to you of your encouraging words. I am flatter myself on your willingness to give a moral support to the indigent.

I approve gladly your substantial amendment referring the term "little knowledge". You are right, it is very important the comparison modus. But in my view there is the problem with the basis of comparison, comparison 's point or comparison's level as well as the standard of comparison. There rise the question referring the nature of our "consciousness" as well as the "cosmic consciousness". I hope you remember the parable about ancient Babylon tower, so as the Solomon's proverbs.

If I have understood you correct, you spoke in your last post about the scripture "Avesta" - a collection of sacred texts of Zoroastrianism.

Your sentence "Let us ourselves gliding over Zarathoustra's high path" sounds very poetical, but when I were you, I would use the verb "diving".(Or I am wrong again?). Maybe we have to see something about Gilgamesh or to learn something about "Paradise" but not which was depicted in the "Lost paradise" from John Milton, but this one before it.

So we can understand better the very core (you have used this word) of Achaeminid culture, the essence of the code of conduct, the question of "cardinal sin" (not our "original sin") as well as the question of dead and live.
I think your French will bring you fuller advantage through reading many things referring this themas in your native language.

This is getting way off topic. Perhaps you guys might like to start a new thread in General Discussions.

[CHOMAT]

You are right Anglika. I must apologize then !

[vil]

Me too.

One must draw the line somewhere.
