Dear Chuan, Rafael and All,
There is a point in this exchange which perhaps should be addressed explicitly:
everybody knows that people differ in their capacity to appreciate poetry
emotionally. But we also differ in the capacity to appreciate the importance of
poetry and art for science; this might be said to require an
'intelligence' of poetry. Perhaps someone else can express better what I am
trying to say here.
Best wishes,
Joseph
P.S. Admirers of Basho's haiku are directed to his far superior one to which
this is a Californian response:
Warm cloudy day in Spring
Perched on a fresh leafy branch
A young tow-hee

Dear Chuan,
thanks for sharing this poem.
Allow me to thank you also with these texts where I try to reflect
on Dao and Information Society

Dear Stanley N Salthe and All,
I am back to
my duty from ten days hard work. Reliving from tired let
me come back to the breakpoint – Stanley’s poem echo to
Emily – and my draft reply as a new poem the same. I will
finish and put out next mail – reply as another poem is
“The Song of the Computer” and another poem on Internet.
These two have send in our FIS years ago. And now “here a
stay, and there a star”, now “ struggling to affect each
other from our slowly burning bodies”, let us put these
stars here again as a bunch of flower first.
Let this as my
echo. We can image a Science fiction: long long after,
there is a country, there set
such an law : if you have not replied an poet’s poem at
once, if delay five days, you are evil. So let me use an
old poem echo your poem as soon as I finished my heavy
work.
Thanks for you
poem. That is nice!
More reply and
the new later.
Best wishes,
Chuan

主题: Re: [Fis] Chuan's reply7 - THE FRONTIERS OF
INTELLIGENCE SCIENCE-- a poem & the π-festival
Chuan, fis'rs
Here is a poem I wrote a couple of years ago:
internet fellowship
is like --
being in heaven?
we’re
disembodied spirits
struggling to
affect
each other.
patterns of ‘on and off’ in
the waves and wires
like cells in an organism
we’re disembodied spirits
launched from our slowly burning bodies,
the fuel for our
cognitions,
like charcoal
for a flame
maybe this is (what) heaven
(is like)
launched upon the
embers of hell.

Dear FISers,
These days I
am doing a heavy and important work that I can not
finish my respond mail. Though there are many
ideas emerge in my mind.
Let me put a
poem of Emily DIKINSON in our dear discussion.
OUR
SHARE OF NIGHT TO BEAR
Emily DIKINSON
Our share of nights to hear –
Our share of morning –
Our blank in bliss to fill
Our blank in scorning –
Here a star, and there a star,
Some lose their way!
Here a mist, and there a mist,
Afterwards – Day!
1890
c.1859
For I thought
of the image of “here is a star, and there is a
star” and looked for this poem to share here. Let
us shine and share.
Dear Joseph, I
agree with the Stanislaw Lem’s opinion.
Yes, she is
right: afterwards – Day!
Tomorrow is π-festival
– March 14 - 3.14. I celebrated aπ-festival
this afternoon. That is wonderful. And it is the
birthday of Einstein the same.
Cheers!
Chuan
