@matthunte No, that's the way we all read, backwards. Guy Davenport learned Greek to read Homer b/c of Joyce & Pound.

@HeerJeet@matthunte Not Colossians 3:18, one hopes. ("Wives, submit to your husbands. . .") -
@HeerJeet@matthunte Maybe Ecclesiastes 3:18: "I said in mine heart concerning the estates of the sons of men. . . " - Show replies
