you?
English to me, is like early twentieth
century espionage.
In the commencement of the nineteen
hundreds, espionage is a critical, yet underappreciated, and
sometimes unknown aspect of life. The same is true with writing now,
some people do not realize just how wonderfully potent the magic of
words can be. Both old time espionage and current writing are crucial
to a person's well-being, in my opinion, and life without either
would be dry to say the least. A good majority of people never
actually perform all that much of either. Most people a hundred or so
years ago got to practice some diminutive and minute manner of
espionage in the form of their countless daily subterfuges and
sneaking about.
And
now with English, all people write some English in the course of
their academic career. Yet for both of these, the people experiencing
them only get to see the very top of these fields. If they dive down
deeper into these, inditing, and clandestine activities, then and
only then do they finally begin to appreciate the deepness these
subjects truly are in possession of. The adventure that both brings
to the practicer are immeasurable, the enjoyment in exercising such
wonderful arts is simply delightful, and the pure, unalterable
feeling of doing something wonderful is always with me, as I write.
But I much prefer English to espionage,
as I prefer not to be in constant fear of my life being attempted.
Wellllllll, that's a bit of a stretch--but what's English without the occasional safe house, courier cut out, secret cell, disinformation, and counter-espionage op?
