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.

Just because you've got a loyal following and have reached your 500th post, dear Fool, doesn't mean you can go around scandalously breaking double-dactyl rules. Hint: I (once again) see no reference to a person. Rewrite! Rewrite!

Congrats, old fool. There being no fool like an old fool, or at least one who has reached his 500th posting.

Congrats, my favorite Fool! No Fool's gold here, it's always the genuine nugget!
