it behoves you to develop a sagacious flair for sniffing and smelling out and appreciating such fair and fatted books, to be swiff: in pursuit and bold in the attack, and then, by careful reading and frequent meditation, to crack open the bone and seek out the substantificial marrow – that is to say, what I mean by such Pythagorean symbols – sure in the hope that you will be made witty and wise by that reading; for you will discover therein a very different savour and a more hidden instruction which will reveal to you the highest hidden truths and the most awesome mysteries

Rondeau

En chiant l'autre hier senti
La gabelle qu'à mon cul dois;
L'odeur fut autre que cuidois:

Car je lui eusse assimenti
Son trou d'urine à mon lourdois;
Cependant eût avec ses doigts,
Mon trou de merde garanti,
En chiant!
