"... with a cup of water, lemon juice and a little bee pollen. You can drink it in about 30 seconds, but if I took everything out of that blender and put it in a bowl, it would take me an hour to eat it. That’s a lot of chewing."Said Ann Patchett, quoted in "Ann Patchett Isn’t Parting With WordPerfect/The best-selling novelist refuses to yield when it comes to writing software, but she’s had a bit of a change of heart on Barnes & Noble" (NYT).
I just ran across that, but I'd already been thinking about vegetables. I was trying understand this sentence from the mid-1600s, a sentence that runs on so crazily that I didn't even try to ge to the end:
Here now Sr, with the violence of ambition, the offspring of that obligation, by which I am bound to my owne nature, I am passionately desirous to secure him; But heù Res ipsa loquetur, his fate depending upon the freedome of his own will, nictu oculi, he disproportioned his affections by the banefull brousing upon one vegetable, planted by the right hand of providence, (rather for the exercise of his constancy, then the monument of his folly) and not without the highest sacriledge to be tasted for food, the guilt whereof, by prescient decree, so stained the face of nature and demasculated the seminall vertue of the Creation, that now each thorne and bryer upbraid him for his rash at∣tempt, his groanes, teares, and exsudations, what are they but the effects of those blowes which he received from the brandishing sword of divine revenge, which forced him out of the blisfull Allies of the Garden, to hide himselfe amongst the thickets, so pittifully depauperated, that he wasglad to accept of a mantle from the charitable affords of a figtree....
The "vegetable" is the apple in the Garden of Eden... right?
I'm reading that sentence because it was one of the quotations offered by the OED in the entry for "prescient." We were talking about "prescience" because I'd made up a comical practice — as I continue listening to a Spotify playlist that puts all of Bob Dylan's studio albums in chronological order (453 songs) — of misreading lines as foretelling the future.
To help you see how this game is played, I'll tell you 3 that occurred to me as I was listening to the 1978 album "Street-Legal":
"No Time to Think" — "In the Federal City you been blown and shown pity" — Dylan predicted the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal.
"Is Your Love in Vain" — "I have dined with kings, I’ve been offered wings" — Dylan foresaw the great chicken wings craze.
"Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)" — "Señor, señor, let’s disconnect these cables/Overturn these tables/This place don’t make sense to me no more" — Dylan was prescient about computer labs.
Sometimes a blog post is like an Ann Patchett salad.
