A" -rf Hackerman shrugs off low ratings of grad programs - Rice ...

Obedience to form, while no more
blind than state or church.
Serves hardly an excuse for a necrosis
of the wit.
The man, but not the meaning,
have you gleaned from your
research
Perhaps my saline writings have
not yet their focus hit.
Consider the novella once again
before response-
Your own preoccupations, true,
wane sallow next to such,
And in your new work, Death,
have you contrived them to ensconse;
But even there, impurity of mind
outsteps its hutch.
Can we attribute this, say, to an
accident in youth?
Or sybaritic effort toward some
grand Satanic plan?
By now you understand: or, if you
don't, I stand aghast,
Ineptly quotin&here: "You need
the feeling, notlhe man."
Appendix I-
"Cowardice"? Perhaps; more
likely Lazarus Long's "laziness."
"Envy"? Never.
Appendix II-
I still think they sound dumb.
