Poetry. "I can't imagine any problems more worth solving that the ones Schwartz has set himself here. Analytic under his daily knife, his days don't stop their thinking. I want to follow these thoughts as far as he takes them, because they lead so often and so kindly to my favorite place: pure contradiction."
