So you forgot not to decide not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem?

I hate it when that happens.

blafferty commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
Yep. By the time I remembered I had a resolution to make concerning it, I had already done it.

Well, I'm new at this, but wouldn't you have to forget not to decide not to read a completely different Wisława Szymborska poem next weekend, seeing as how you've already read this particular Wisława Szymborska poem?
I'm just guessing here.

Hmm. That's hard to say. Can a poem be read more than once, or does it lose its flavor? How many readings does it take to get to the tootsie-roll center? And, having read the poem once, is it much too late to ever decide not to read the poem?

Even harder to say – can a poem NOT be read more than once?

ruzuzu commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
There were a few poems that I decided not to read all the way through because they were about war or disasters or numbers. But there was one in particular that I decided not to, um, recite after having read it about five times.

Ah, I see we are working from multiple definitions of read! So this complicates the question: a poem can be read (def. 1) multiple times but still not read (def. 2)!

Just as you cannot step twice into the same river (as Heraclitus said), you cannot read the same poem more than once – although you can not read the same poem many times over.

What were the poems about numbers, zuze?

blafferty commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
Oo, very zen-sounding, rolig. I like.

ruzuzu commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
The one I was thinking of is "Pi," but "Nothing Twice" seems appropriate now, too.

It's not a bad poem, but it ends too soon.

ruzuzu commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
You should just read it again.

blafferty commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
I thought the title indicated that you couldn't.

reesetee commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
I thought we were talking about forgetting. Or possibly I read that I'd forgotten that I hadn't not read a poem.
I don't remember.
May 17, 2011
blafferty commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
No, the title of the poem. Although the title of this page doesn't exactly encourage reading the poem in the first place.
Anyway, I will definitely remember to decide not to read any poems next weekend, just to be safe.

ruzuzu commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
Of course, you could forget that you'd decided that--then you'd have to read every poem ever written.
May 17, 2011
reesetee commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
That sounds like far too much work. I'd rather forget to read every poem ever written, then remember later a few poems at a time.
May 17, 2011
blafferty commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
I can't decide! Every poem or no poem? To decide, perchance to forget? Whether 'tis nobler in mind to read them all, the poems and sonnets of outrageous authorship, or to make decisions against a sea of poems and by deciding, leave them.
May 17, 2011
ruzuzu commented on the word deciding not to read that Wisława Szymborska poem
To read, or not to read, that is the question.
