of the seven deadly sins, the eighth and worst by far is emotional blackmail ... the diligent practise of this subtle and ancient art creates a constantly evolving darwinistic moral vacuum in which the brightest new manipulative ideas and stratagems flourish ... and which only you, or i, can fill !

the venetian problem ... a modest proposal
on the one hand, you have lot of sinking islands
on the other, you have the italian concrete producers and the murano glass makers
my solution is to concrete in the lagoon and the waterways,
and then cover it all in beautiful glass from murano to imitate the water
this should keep everyone busy for the next fifty years
no doubt they're designing a stained glass window glorifying my image at this very moment
q.e.d.

Actually I hear they've solved the problem by pumping more water under the city. Honest. Something to do with spongy stone.
Or it could all be an elaborate April Fool, living on through uninformed babble like mine.
Also, I really like your blogging style. It's very archy. Or sometimes William Carlos Williams.
scroobious ! you're too kind
don marquis and william carlos williams would certainly be invited to the feast at my kitchen table in heaven
