p-z:   What are you reading at the moment?

PH:  Russell’s Analysis of Mind.

p-z:   Which edition? 

PH:  Funny you should ask that.  It’s the very one Borges refers to in “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”.

p-z:   1921 Allen & Unwin if memory serves me correctly.

PH:   Yup.  And you?

p-z:  Just dipping into Pound’s Cantos.  You know the opening line is a translation of the first words ever written in Greek?

PH:  “And then went down to the ship, Set keel to breakers, forth on the godly sea”.

p-z:  Ah, you know it. Scans well doesn’t it.

PH:  I always thought so.
