a fool in the forest: Welcome Overlawyered Readers . . .

Epigraphs

A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the
forest,
A motley fool; a miserable world!
As I do live by food, I met a fool
Who laid him down and bask'd him
in the sun,
And rail'd on Lady Fortune in good
terms,
In good set terms and yet a motley
fool.

As You Like It,
Act II, Scene 7

L'homme y passe à travers des
forêts de symboles
Qui l'observent avec des regards
familiers.

Les Fleurs du Mal,
“Correspondances”

[T]here is almost no subject-matter, and what little one can disentangle is foolish....
One would call the style verbose, except that by definition verbosity is the use of words in excess of the occasion, and there seems to be no occasion.

Yvor Winters,
Forms of Discovery, Ch. 7

Welcome Overlawyered Readers . . .

and many thanks to Walter Olson for linking here.

Should any of you find yourselves interested in a somewhat more serious approach to current California law than you will find on this page, please let me refer you to this weblog's more specialized and earnest sibling, Declarations and Exclusions. It's the least I can do: Poor little Decs & Excs gets all huffy when the Fool hogs the spotlight.

Updated: Thanks as well to Gideon Strauss, for linking to and expanding upon the posts below on "weblogs and 'little' magazines."
