"I was loquacious before I learned to speak."
. . . mind you I was much younger when I wrote this one . . .
"I was loquacious before I learned to speak."
Quoted to my aunt, and in turn quoted to me ... and I would like very much
to meet the "first-hand quoter," if that's what you would call him. You see, to
be loquacious means to speak frequently, to jabber about anything (i think).
One who is loquacious prior to speaking and knows it will usually take
time out for details. I was told that words are all-powerful, and that you must
be careful once one who is loquacious person does learn to speak, so he or she
will not use the wrong words.
I, on the other hand, believe that words are not powerful enough; which is
why the first entry of the journal(from which this excerpt is taken) is so long.
All explained at once can become to someone as gibberish. If words were "all-
powerful," it would not take as many to complete a thought. In other words,
there would be no point in my trying to reach my goal.
Hypophora and one who is loquacious go hand in hand (and as I write this
here, on my web page, I really don't believe anymore that they go hand in hand,
nor do I really know if I knew at the time what I was trying to say. A hypo-
phora is a rhetoric. However, at the time that I wrote this, the only defi-
nition of the word I knew was, "to reason with yourself out loud." You decide
for yourself). Before he could speak, his explanation was perfect, and he had
no trouble sorting out one thought from the other, usually. The main reason for
this is that no one but him heard him reasoning. For he could not speak, there-
fore was content, and had no worries about others' reasoning and/or logic...but
when he did learn to speak, it was both an adventure and a nightmare. You know
why, because you know why it is such to me(well, you would if you had
ever read The Blue Thing). He, like I, tried to color in every detail
without fail. Maybe (and it is possible), he is on a similar, but very diff-
erent track from me. But if it is not that way, then he had to change his
pattern of reason, setting examples, naming things such as I named Wexler, and
had to worry about his point not getting across. Hey man, I cracked. It wasn't
funny. Don't let this gift of yours strip you of all defenses(those being all
emotions, including tears), and above all, don't do anything stupid.
