ay me: what little faith have i, in mine own self.
i looked at a proof i wrote, a fortnight afore,
thought it bent and false;
as i strove to better it,
my eyes spied it more closely, and 'lo:
'tis verily straight and true!
alack! enough of words, these lifeless things,
numbers and figures are my works and days of hands, and
much time to toil remains.
anon ..!

you know, i have no idea why i wrote that earlier. the edits to this manuscript must be taking their toll, and i'm losing my good sense ..
[sighs]
on a related note, i just received word that one of the arguments in one of my preprints can probably be substantially simplified.
this is good, in that it might save me a few pages,
but bad, in that the result might now appear completely trivial!

i was right .. in that i was actually wrong.
