Stopping my reading again this morning, to comment on the realization, that no matter what text contains the topic science, the name of BIG -A always seems to appear. Was reading "Early conceptions of heredity" [Britannica, vol. 19, p. 701] when, low and behold, there was BIG - A in all his genesis glory. What can one say? Just like BIG - H, who always appears when one contemplates thought as it was translated into rhythm so many epics ago! On and on it goes down the hallways of time, thought to rhythm or thought to reason.
Now from my own hero days of childhood, there was BIG - S (Superman) [see post titled "Super Heroes" of August 16, 2010] and, of course BIG - JP (John Paul Jones) being a Jones and all that [see post of December 28, 201]. Then came BIG - AX. That was Alexander the Great! Nothing he could not do once he mounted that big white horse and swung that mighty sword. Well, it was many years later that I realized that poor, old, BIG - AX, was actually a protoplasma of BIG - A! What a deal, BIG - A got into my childhood and, I didn't even understand the significance. Well by now, you have got to figure that BIG - A is Aristotle and, BIG - H is Homer. Arts and Science are the concepts. Not a think tank in existence today that calls itself a university that does not have a "College of Arts" (Homer) and, a "College of Science" (Aristotle). What a hoot my BIG - Owl announces just outside my window this 6th day of September 2025.
