Alright, Kathy, this is the last thing I have to say to
you directly at the moment:
There is a metaphor in a language that will never be yours
to know, which phonetically (apologies for that, I know it
by ear, not by eye) is this, using mostly English tones. The
"ui" is meant as in the first half of the French "oui", the
closed, "O" lips with the tongue in the long English "EE"
formation:
"...eht veh anyeh doo lohimbreh ah krohbik foh deh ahdim
vihsnuhrayt, doo puht sihnk-ui mohd-ui ahdim vah clahg eht
strehyan ghoobliht pah..."
Which means, translated through the colloquial of its somewhat
geographical origin:
"Gold sticks to gold, shit sticks to shit"
And which means, literally translated word for word:
"...and with the angel of the highest bell, she mightily cracks
apart for Man NOT the dynn of the false teacher's voice, which
gives disease and death to Man in his ear and mouth, and binds
him as one would a horse to a carriage..."
