A SMALL STEP FOR A MAN AND EVEN SMALLER FOR MANKIND

I think the pacre is an arabesque ... I have called the pacre a curlicue ... but not a good pacre ... a really good pacre is an arabesque ... I defend here in true humility not the pacrist but the form itself ... begin at the beginning but jump if you please all the way to the end and count the nights it gave you good thought ... and you'll need a much smaller measure till it brings you down to just a few seconds ... it's a short form ... almost the shortest that I know ... but the easiest of all the forms by way of any set of rules ... and therefore too the easiest to abuse ... and the simplest to argue into a poor result ... some pacres are too pretty ... some are too preachy ... some have some passion others are dull ... but only one bad pacre that doesn't let the thought flow ... innocent of the charge what did you think you were doing ... responsible nonetheless for the engraving ... as you do it you should polish each step for there are many staircases to heaven even just one
