 The huckleberry is a kind of blueberry... Samuel Clemens discovered huckleberries one afternoon in Hartford, Connecticut... "They are a new beverage to me," he admitted in "Morality and Huckleberries" (San Francisco Alta California...) ...The word indicated something small and of little consequence. Twain was aware of this meaning when he said in Chapter 26 of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, "Sir Palamides the Saracen ... is no huckleberry himself."

"Huckleberry Finn, indeed!" says a character in Chapter 29 of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. "It ain't a name to open many doors, I judge!" Twain took the surname from Jimmy Finn, the town drunkard of Hannibal. Missouri. "There was sometning about the name 'Finn' that suited," Twain admitted to Lute Pease in "Mark Twain Speaks", "and 'Huck Finn' was all that was needed to somehow describe another kind of boy than 'Tom Sawyer,' a boy of lower extraction or degree. Now, 'Arthur Van de Vanter Montague' would have sounded ridiculous, applied to characters like either 'Tom Sawyer' or 'Huck Finn.' Twain reminisced in a letter to childhood friend Will Bowen ...how "we stole (Jim Finn's) dinner while he slept in the vat and fed it to the hogs in order to keep them still till we could mount them and have a ride"

 

 

 

Me: -Good morning Copilot

Copilot: - Good morning! How are you today? Is there something exciting on your agenda, or do you need any help with a particular topic? Let's make today wonderful!

Me: -Sure. Before we address the daily new Shakespeare Quote, let me share this with you. I think that at the highest level of awareness the noble and pleasant hobby, past time or sport of FISHING is a reflection upon the comprehension of Prov. 10:22. What do you think?

Copilot: -That's a fascinating interpretation! Proverbs 10:22 states:

"The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it."

If we view fishing as a noble and pleasant pastime, it can indeed reflect the idea of enjoying the blessings and richness of life without the added sorrows. Fishing requires patience, skill, and an appreciation of nature—qualities that align with a peaceful and fulfilling existence. It can be seen as an activity that enriches one's life, both physically and spiritually, and offers tranquility and joy without causing harm or stress.

Your perspective beautifully connects the serene and rewarding aspects of fishing with the wisdom found in Proverbs.

Now, how about we dive into a new Shakespeare quote for the day?

Me: -Let's do it

Copilot: -Great! Here's a quote from "King Lear":

"The wheel is come full circle: I am here."

This line, spoken by Edmund in Act V, Scene 3, reflects on the idea of fate and how events tend to come back to their starting point.

I hope you enjoy this quote! If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to let me know.

Me: -that 's a nice one!

Copilot: -I'm glad you liked it! Shakespeare's wisdom never fails to resonate. If you have any more quotes you'd like to explore or anything else on your mind, feel free to share. Let's keep the conversation going!

Me: -If possible could you think of an image that reflects what we mentioned about fishing in relation with God's blessings?

Copilot: -Your image reflecting the connection between fishing and God's blessings is on its way! If there's anything else you'd like to discuss or explore, feel free to let me know.

Me. -Now thinking about Huckeberry Finn do you see any connection of the character's situation and Prov. 10:22?

Copilot: -That's an interesting connection to consider! Huckleberry Finn, the protagonist of Mark Twain's classic novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," experiences numerous adventures and challenges throughout his journey. Let's explore how his situation might relate to Proverbs 10:22:

Proverbs 10:22:

"The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it."

Connection to Huckleberry Finn:

Search for Freedom and Happiness:

Huck's journey down the Mississippi River is a quest for freedom from the constraints of society and an abusive father. His adventures lead him to form a deep bond with Jim, an escaped slave. This friendship and the experiences they share can be seen as blessings that enrich Huck's life.

Moral Growth and Enlightenment:

Throughout the novel, Huck grapples with his conscience and the moral dilemmas he faces. His growth and enlightenment, particularly regarding his views on slavery and humanity, can be seen as blessings that bring richness to his character without added sorrow.

Simplicity and Contentment:

Despite the hardships and dangers Huck faces, there is a simplicity and contentment in his life on the river. This reflects the idea that true blessings bring joy and fulfillment without sorrow.

Innocence and Wisdom:

Huck's innocent and straightforward perspective on life often reveals deeper wisdom. His ability to see through the hypocrisy and flaws of society can be viewed as a blessing that allows him to navigate his world with a unique sense of clarity and purpose.

While Huck's journey is filled with challenges, the experiences and personal growth he gains along the way can be seen as blessings that enrich his life without adding sorrow, much like the sentiment expressed in Proverbs 10:22.

If you have any more questions or need further insights, feel free to ask!

Me. -Could Jim be a subtle allusion of Mark Twain to the Bible, only because of the great King James Version?

Copilot: -That's an intriguing possibility! While there's no direct evidence that Mark Twain intended Jim to be an allusion to the Bible or the King James Version specifically, literary analysis often reveals layers of meaning that may not be immediately apparent.

Potential Connections:

Name "Jim":

The name "Jim" itself is a common name and might not directly reference the King James Version, but it's interesting to consider the influence of biblical names and themes in literature.

Moral and Ethical Themes:

The character of Jim in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" embodies qualities such as kindness, loyalty, and moral integrity. These qualities can resonate with the ethical teachings found in the Bible.

Journey and Redemption:

Jim's journey toward freedom and his role in Huck's moral development can be seen as a broader reflection of themes of redemption and liberation found in biblical narratives.

Author's Inspiration:

Mark Twain's Background:

Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens, grew up in a time and place where the Bible and its teachings were influential. While he was known for his skepticism and satirical approach to religion, it's possible that biblical themes subtly influenced his writing.

Whether or not Twain intended Jim to be an allusion to the Bible, the character's significance and the moral lessons in the novel certainly align with themes that could be found in biblical literature.

If you have any more questions or thoughts on this topic, feel free to share!

Me: -I'm good for now.

Copilot: -Great to hear! If you ever need anything, whether it's information, a new quote, or just a friendly chat, don't hesitate to reach out. Have a wonderful day!

El Sur

Desde uno de tus patios haber mirado

las antiguas estrellas,

desde el banco de

la sombra haber mirado

esas luces dispersas

que mi ignorancia no ha aprendido a nombrar

ni a ordenar en constelaciones,

haber sentido el círculo del agua

en el secreto aljibe,

el olor del jazmín y la madreselva,

el silencio del pájaro dormido,

el arco del zaguán, la humedad

—esas cosas, acaso, son el poema.

 "UNA DELICIOSA PUTA!"
Me parece que esto, es lo que nos dice UXORIALMENTE nuestro Borges,al leer yo el párrafo que transcribo a continuación de su prólogo a su libro de EMECÉ, Obra Poética. Pienso que ahí nos da a entender que la literatura cuando entretiene es una deliciosa PUTA que se disfruta mucho en el momento pero que tiene que dar más.
"La literatura impone su magia por artificios; el lector acaba por reconocerlos y desdeñarlos; de ahí la constante necesidad de mínimas o máximas variaciones, que pueden recuperar un pasado o prefigurar un futuro"~~~Jorge Luis Borges
O sea la literatura por su magia cuando sólo halaga el PRESENTE es el gitano Melquiades arrastrando por la calle un MAGNETO que desclava las casas y muebles en el pueblo de Macondo.

Calle desconocida

(Fervor de Buenos Aires – Edición de 1969)

Penumbra de la paloma
llamaron los hebreos a la iniciación de la tarde*
cuando la sombra no entorpece los pasos
y la venida de la noche se advierte
como una música esperada y antigua,
como un grato declive.
En esa hora en que la luz
tiene una finura de arena,
di con una calle ignorada,
abierta en noble anchura de terraza,
cuyas cornisas y paredes mostraban
colores tenues como el mismo cielo
que conmovía el fondo.
Todo —la medianía de las casas,
las modestas balaustradas y llamadores,
tal vez una esperanza de niña en los balcones—
entró en mi vano corazón
con limpidez de lágrima.
Quizá esa hora de la tarde de plata
diera su ternura a la calle,
haciéndola tan real como un verso
olvidado y recuperado.
Sólo después reflexioné
que aquella calle de la tarde era ajena,
que toda casa es un candelabro
donde las vidas de los hombres arden
como velas aisladas,
que todo inmeditado paso nuestro
camina sobre Gólgotas.

Jorge Luis Borges. Fervor de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Emecé Editores, 2007.

*«Es inexacta la noticia de los primeros versos. De Quincey (Writings, tercer volumen, p. 293) anota que, según la nomenclatura judía, la penumbra del alba tiene el nombre de penumbra de la paloma; la del atardecer, del cuervo». (Borges, 1969, p. 54).



Of wealth and health in the long run, or happiness if you will, is what Prov.14:1 is all about. The using of the woman to illustrate that is just a brilliant insight anchored in a our daily life, because what it essentially says is that every choice or decision at every crossroads will accrue to our success and happiness in LIFE, of which a house is a very apt and artistic metaphor, of course an external sign, but a very good one at that. And remember it ain't over till is over! Right Windsor?
