Well, what do you ' think :of
the moon now? For centuries,,
lunatics .have, howled at it,lov-
ers have yearned under it,
poets have rhapsodized over it
• and pedants have ' pontificated
about ..it.
And what does the beautiful,
silvery, chaste goddess turn''.
out to be?' An old hag made of
• slag, with a bad,,case of acne.

inanities and 'profundities, but
experiencing the tension, ter

assing experience: .the Great'

race at . that moment.
