Opening remarks: a credo, i'll claim it if you like it

Mark Helprin said that complex men exact their magnanimity by the simplest means. I only have simple means, and maybe they will grow into bug-luscious blossoms of enchanting magnanimity. Here is a wonderful poem by the great Christian poet Tyler Blanski:
