Quotes about lecture, page 7
A Man That Of Course You Do Not Know
after having read a lot of books
and written a novel
and a thousand poems
even nominated for the Nobel
he comes home
gathers us all
in his big new house
gives us our drinks and
come slices of cakes
and he begins his first lecture
on how to perform
a funeral

The belief that there are other life forms in the universe is a matter of faith. There is not a single shred of evidence for any other life forms, and in forty years of searching, none has been discovered. There is absolutely no evidentiary reason to maintain this belief.
Michael Crichton in Caltech Michelin Lecture (17 January 2003)

The interval allowed was only five minutes, at the end of which I resumed the lecture; but so refreshing was the effects of the brief rest and, above all, the admission of pure air, that during the second hour the attention was as completely sustained as during the first.

Seals
I deliver a lecture
And pour out my soul,
Its full architecture,
All rounded and whole.
But with those I love best
I stammer and mutter,
And gossip and jest
Are all I can utter:
Quip, quirk, and derision;
And what my heart feels,
My soul's purest vision,
Are under the seals.

Religions Are Welcome
It's a pleasure to lecture
About the sin of stealing.
It's a pleasure to listen
To talks on sins of stealing.
A thief speaks; other thieves hear.
Then they disperse for works.
Speaking and hearing about sins
Sooth the burns of sins people make.
Hence people welcome religions.

Marshes
The bog and marsh condemn you,
Eternal is this gain of your few
Who wear a costume of colours,
Inward is the feeling of counsellors.
They advise and lecture on weather
That superbly displays youth and feather.
We are experts too bold of the marsh,
In this is knowledge to drain - so harsh!

My Peer At The Ateneo....
it is to me
disturbing when you call
and i am in the middle of
a legal lecture
in the university
and then you ask me if
your wife
is in my place
it is contrary to
the closeness and the happy faces
that you
posted constantly in
Facebook
but my friend
i perfectly understand how is it to be married
these days....

Rationally
I'm romantic
no matter who tells me I am stupid
I'm a dream seeker
no matter how harsh this world is on me
seeing is believing
I have gone-through-evidence
no matter what excellent professors lecture
I can talk to birds in the sky
I won't let this world win
until people have a rational conversation with me

Classes and Lectures
They found adayago a silly man in the new shirt,
A really good find that kept them away and running,
To be listened to are these people who riot in heads.
A dork I mean is a terrible man who fiddles on who
The person is that stayed long at class and found at last
His intelligent look and excuse at being with the next lecture.

What is METAPHOR, anyway?
Quiet down, class
Mick wants to lecture you
about one of his pet subjects
METAPHOR
in poetry and verse
What's an analogy?
Is it a comparison? Of how many things?
How are they alike?
Synonyms - image, symbol, trope, figure
of speech, simile, allegory, correlation,
likeness, personification
You know these things?
