then in swift
sudden eureka flash flickering...
bright candle comes
on; remember light bulbs
had not been invented yet?
but pray tell why did not
young William or older aging
William simply not take short cut...
look up words in the dictionary?
alas forsooth dictionary has not
been invented, spelling has not
been standardized, Samuel Johnson has not
invented a first writ dictionary yet;
but of course you would not know that?
