But I guess it is no...Oh my goodness, what a crew! But I guess it is no surprise that Madison, Miss Maria, and Miss Jenny all work on the same wavelength. I love your poem, Jenny, but I got it in my inbox before reading the comments, and just thought, "Wow, this is beautiful, although I have no idea what it is about...."<br /><br />I think my favorite Madison line, besides SHOCKING PLOT TWISTS, is "What insane accuracy, eh?"<br /><br />Thanks to all for sharing.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164883668587344597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762146086878993061.post-45856382919353322802011-09-30T12:19:29.346-04:002011-09-30T12:19:29.346-04:00I wrote a poem based on that very list!

Hugs to you!
Your sorting cat...Thank you, Madison! Hugs to you!<br /><br />Your sorting categories, which I loved, reminded me of "Borges' Animals" article. It's short, so I am just copying it here. <br /><br />In "The Analytical Language of John Wilkins," Borges describes 'a certain Chinese Encyclopedia,' the Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge, in which it is written that animals are divided into:<br /><br />those that belong to the Emperor,<br />embalmed ones,<br />those that are trained,<br />suckling pigs,<br />mermaids,<br />fabulous ones,<br />stray dogs,<br />those included in the present classification,<br />those that tremble as if they were mad,<br />innumerable ones,<br />those drawn with a very fine camelhair brush,<br />others,<br />those that have just broken a flower vase,<br />those that from a long way off look like flies.<br /><br />This classification has been used by many writers. It "shattered all the familiar landmarks of his thought" for Michel Foucault. Anthropologists and ethnographers, German teachers, postmodern feminists, Australian museum curators, and artists quote it. The list of people influenced by the list has the same heterogeneous character as the list itself.MariaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769513929584082597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762146086878993061.post-35249363062597592132011-09-30T00:33:14.470-04:002011-09-30T00:33:14.470-04:00I love shocking plot twists!
