IN PONDERING which fruit
most sounds like the breaking
of wind, the kumquat wins out

to be proven wrong

knowledge of fruits is
greater than mine.

โ€œ[โ€ฆ] whether some things that men think they do not know, are not for all that thoroughly comprehended by them; and yet, so to speak, though contained in themselves, are kept a secret from themselves? The idea of Death seems such a thing.โ€
