More From E. M. Forster

I was making pancakes the other day and a fly flew into the kitchen. and that's when i realized that a spatula is a lot like a fly-swatter. and a crushed fly is a lot like a blueberry. and a roommate is a lot like a fly eater.
Funny Im Sorry Humor
The interview process tests not what the applicant knows, but how well they can process tricky questions: if you wanted to figure out how many times on average you would have to flip the pages of the manhattan phone book to find a specific name, how would you approach the problem? if a spider fell to the bottom of a 50-foot well, and each day climbed up 3 feet and slipped back 2, how many days would it take the spider to get out of the well? .
Book Average Names
In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. we lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western montana, and our father was a presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. he told us about christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and i did, that all first-class fishermen on the sea of galilee were fly fishermen and that john, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.

After reading ... accounts ... of minor accidents of light, it is little wonder that the average man would far rather watch someone else fly and read of the narrow escapes from death when some pilot has had a forced landing or a blowout, than to ride himself. even in the postwar days of now obsolete equipment, nearly all of the serious accidents were caused by inexperienced pilots who where then allowed to fly or attempt to fly-without license or restrictions about anything they could coax into the air.
Reading Men Light
I was thinking, i could turn him into a fly and drop him into a spider's web and watch him tangled and helpless and struggling, shut into the body of a dying buzzing fly; i could wish him dead until he died.i could fasten him to a tree and keep him there until he grew into the trunk and bark grew over his mouth. if he was under the ground i could walk over him stamping my feet.
Struggle Thinking Feet
What shall i compare it to, this fantastic thing i call my mind? to a waste-paper basket, to a sieve choked with sediment, or to a barrel full of floating froth and refuse? no, what it is really most like is a spider's web, insecurely hung on leaves and twigs, quivering in every wind, and sprinkled with dewdrops and dead flies. and at its centre, pondering forever the problem of existence, sits motionless the spider-like and uncanny soul.
