How true It is. How wise Is our epigrammatist epigram-matist to observe nnd remark on this I Now, then: it Is equally true that clever clev-er women hide what they don't know; and clever men hide what they know. No one can dory this, wherefore we are forced to Ce logical conclusion that clever women hide what they know and what they don't know, and clever men hide what they know and what they don't know, and so we see thnt clever people hide everything! This being thus, and as clever people, I '. being clever, must do their hiding thoroughly and successfully, how can we know they are clever people? May It not well be that people whom we consider dull and stupid are merely clever people busily doing their hiding? At any rate, this revelation of the hiding process clearly explains why we never, knowingly, meet any clever people. Ex change. |
