A glance at the history of European poetry is enough to inform us that rhyme itself is not indispensable. Latin poetry in the classical age had no use for it, and the kind of Latin poetry that does rhyme - as for instance the medieval 'Carmina Burana' - tends to be somewhat crude stuff in comparison with the classical verse that doesn't.

Ein Blick auf die Geschichte der europäischen Poesie reicht aus, um uns mitzuteilen, dass der Reim selbst nicht unverzichtbar ist. Die lateinische Poesie im klassischen Zeitalter hatte keine Verwendung dafür, und die Art der lateinischen Poesie, die sich reimt - wie zum Beispiel die mittelalterliche "Carmina Burana" - ist im Vergleich zu den klassischen Versen, die dies nicht tun, eher etwas grobes Zeug.

I have sometimes thought the power of computers had exceeded our ability to use them, but Mr. Jobs and his team kept giving us devices that made indispensable things easier in ways you never thought of.

Aside from what it teaches you, there is simply the indescribable degree of peace that can be achieved on a sailing vessel at sea. I guess a combination of hard work and the seemingly infinite expanse of the sea - the profound solitude - that does it for me.

What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War?

Theories of history used to be supernatural: the divine ruled time; the hand of God, a special providence, lay behind the fall of each sparrow. If the present differed from the past, it was usually worse: supernatural theories of history tend to involve decline, a fall from grace, the loss of God's favor, corruption.
