Marginalia, no.66

You are immortal for as long as you live.

~ Alvaro Mutis, The Snows of the Admiral

A nice example of what I’ll call Nonsensus Profundis.  Reminiscent of a comic battle cry I once dreamt up: “DEATH TO ALL MORTALS!” – which put me deeper in tears and laughter the more barbarically and bloodthirstily I delivered it.  When this sort of thing starts sounding deep, you know it’s time for a vacation.
