Beery Swine in Norway


Russell said it would be dark.
Wittgenstein said he hated daylight.

Russell said it would be lonely.
Wittgenstein said he prostituted his mind talking to intelligent people.

Russell said he was mad.
Wittgenstein said God preserve him from sanity.

from The Wittgenstein House (Skjolden) by Alec Finlay
