DO WORDS HAVE CLOTHES? DO LETTERS AGREE? DO BOTH CONFESS TO GO FOLLOWING ME? DOES THE FIRST LETTER A HAVE SOMETHING ON B? EVEN THOUGH Bee IS LONGER ON EEs. I BEFORE E EXCEPT AFTER C. WHAT IF THEY JUST DIDN'T CARE AND DECIDED TO BE FREE? WE TAKE FOR GRANTED THESE LETTERS AND THE WORDS THEY MAKE UP NOT GIVING THEM MUCH THOUGHT EXCEPT WHEN THEY ARE MISPELLED OR WHEN WE DON'T KNOW THEIR MEANING. I'VE WRITTEN MY NAME MANY TIMES ANDI STILL DON'T KNOW IF THE LETTERS IN MY NAME KNOW OR CARE ABOUT ME. THAT'S WHY I MUST TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT JUST IN CASE THEY DECIDE ON A MUTINY. I WOULD NOT BE OVERJOYED IF THEY OPTED TO BE ISLELE NOT LESLIE. I WONDER IF FEAR KNOWS IT MUST BE FEARFUL.DOES NUDITY HAVE NO SHAME WHEN IT APPEARS AS BEAR IN PUBLIC? WHY IS IT THAT GRATEFUL IS NOT THE SAME AS FULL OF GRATE? DOES "HIELO" KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE"YELLOW"? ARE WORDS ANTAGONISTIC BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN THE LANGUAGE?

Marianiles... I love it! Who wrote it? The whole writing has a music of its own!

Great! Bravo !
Without clothes on words would not exist, with too much clothes on they would look like us... we are not aware enough of the impact words have on us, and we do not care enough about them...
Many writers, philisophers... wrote about them, using them, for instance
Les Mots et les Choses (Words and Things), from Michel Foucault, a wonderful book which explains how words come to life...
Then many people, often writers, play with them, make up words..., which is great.
I think words are more aware about us than us about them...

HOLA GABRIEL! IF YOU ASK I REPLY. I DID. THE ORIGINAL PIECE WAS TOO LONG FOR THE SPACE PROVIDED SO I DIVIDED IT INTO 2 POSTS.

I agree 100 per penny (%) I am bit lost on other languages beside English & Spanish. Les Mots .... I presume is french. is it widely available?

Frank van den Eeden · 03-12-2008, 03:34 AM

You have a creative mind to write something so original.
And the original is always a thousand times more valuable than any copy.

Gee... GREAT stuff !

But shouldn't the bear be bare ...?

Yes, this is french, and widely available, you can find this french book in english titled The Order of Things: An Archaelogy of the Human Sciences, the word "Mot" (word) does not appear in the title, too bad!
