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 ----Message d'origine---- De : raf...@capurro.de Date : 19/03/2015 - 08:35 (PST) À : fis@listas.unizar.es Objet : Re: [Fis] Chuan's reply8 - THE FRONTIERS OF INTELLIGENCE SCIENCE-- an old poem as an echo 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 http://www.capurro.de/china_infoethics2010.html This is a Chinese translation: http://www.capurro.de/beijing2011_chinese_version.pdf See also: http://www.capurro.de/DB_Akademie.html See also my activities and presentations in China: http://www.capurro.de/home-cn.html best regards Rafael Capurro 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 2015-3-19 -----原始邮件----- 发件人: "Stanley N Salthe" <ssal...@binghamton.edu> 发送时间: 2015-03-14 03:41:00 收件人: "赵川" <zh...@cdut.edu.cn> 抄送: 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.

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!
