Autobiography

[[ I'll try to gather bits and pieces of the Autobiography here. ]]

Preamble: On Irony

“The Donkey”* by G.K. Chesterton

When fishes flew and forests walked and figs grew upon thorn
Some moment when the moon was blood, then surely I was born

With monstrous head and sickening cry and ears like errant wings
The devil’s walking parody of all four footed things

The tattered outlaw of the earth, of ancient crooked will
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb; I keep my secret still

Fools! For I also had my hour, one far fierce hour and sweet
There was a shout about my ears and palms before my feet

*See Zechariah 9,9 and John 12,12-16
