metaphysical quotes

Metaphysical lederhosen.

- D(ennis) J(oseph) Enright
On the murky philosophizing and cumbrous symbolism of German novels. Quoted by John Gross in the NewYork Times, 20  Jan1987.

Se ha hecho para los vivos y no para los muertos el porque   metaf|sico y las reflexiones sobre la vida y la muerte, pero no les hace falta aclarar todo el misterio, les hace falta distraerse y son‹  ar en aclararlo. Metaphysical questions and reflections on lifeand death were created for people alive and not for the dead. However, they do not have to solve all mystery; it is enough for them to create some distraction and to dream that they clarify.
