Censorship Is Futile / La censure est futile.

"The only defense against bad books is good books." --John Milton

The only defense against bad photos is good photos. --Me.



"La seule défense contre les mauvais livres, ce sont les bons livres." --John Milton

La seule défense contre les mauvaises photos est de bonnes photos. --Moi.

He Wears the Uniform of Eden / Il porte l'uniforme d'Eden

He wears the uniform of Eden
before its fall,
that is to say,
nothing at all.
He lives like this
both day and night:
His innocence is Carpocratian,
and Nature, his delight.

Il porte l'uniforme d'Eden
avant sa chute,
c'est-à-dire,
rien du tout.
Il vit comme ça
jour et nuit:
Son innocence est carpocrate,
et la nature, son ravissement.
