EPIGRAM

Higgledly-Piggledly my black hen

She lays eggs for gentlemen

Sometimes nine, sometimes ten

Higgledly-Piggledly my black hen

- Mother Goose's Melody (1760)

PARADOX

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge?

Therefore have I uttered  that I understood not;

things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

-         Holy Bible (Job 42:3)
