Fagburn: On Silence

"And I? May I say nothing, my Lord?" - Oscar Wilde, his last words in court

"What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence" - Ludwig Wittgenstein, the last words of Tractatus.

"Whatever you say, say nothing" - Seamus Heaney, the last poet.

"Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune." - Noam Chomsky, first and last and always.

"Oh, what's the bloody point?" - Kenneth Williams, his last diary entry.

So pissed off.
Might take the day off.
Cause everything's fucking me off off.
Oh, well, please y'selves!
Cough cough cough cough.
