South Africa and a PhD at the University of Pretoria but people mostly know
me as Mr Brown. What gives me most meaning and fulfilment in work is to

A monumental task. For the love of God and the fear of Mathematics!

He started out hedonist sonething like Dorian Gray but ended up like Job in the Old Testament. Wisdon is sold in the desolate market where none can to buy, and in the withered field where the farmer ploughs for bread in vain. According then to...

Yes it's clear now, your poem
Posted on Sat, 16 Sep 2017
Yes it's clear now, your poem describes a birth, a baby, the beginnings of life and later the same, born again and to salvation. Do you have children? I don't, sometimes I think it must be nice they melt your heart. Just being themselves people...
