LITERARY DEGREES: Some thoughts about text alchemy

	To some degree every text you read is a mirror
	reflecting your mind

	In another sense each text is opaque
	merely hinting at an author's design

	To some degree readers are vacuum cleaners
	scooping up semantic debris

	In another sense they're planters
	dispersing precious word-seeds

	Literature can be viewed so many ways:
	but instead of reading about it
	why not open a text
	then discover what it has to say?



Jack: 	(coughing) Hey, whad'z dis old dork sayin'? Kun ya muck any sense ah dis?

Juanita: Some sort ah post-modernist wank I reckon – do ya really wanna understand it?

Jack: 	(winking mischievously) To some degree. . .
