Literacy

"Just one alphabet, an imprint on the brain, and you'll never forget or be puzzled again. If you use your head, you can save your feet; the mind must be fed and a book is a treat. Reading and writing are private activities, but mingling's the thing in your towns and your cities. The retail and wholesale of popular cultures: peacock and nightingale enjoyed by vultures. One day in the evening, you'll want to impart the frustrated meaning that's hurting your heart. Misunderstanding's the product of fear, but all happy endings are perfectly clear. And something is learned when professors are fooled and the children are turned into the over-schooled - Don't study too long, after you're literate, go totally wrong and still be an idiot."
