Sparrow and Fish
“The antinomy of love is not hatred, but more love”, said the fish to the sparrow.
“I know. I know that love is predicated on death. But in your case…even if they force feed me, I wouldn’t touch fish”, retorted the sparrow wistfully.
Did the sparrow say this because sparrows have seldom seen fishes or because my life is the certainty of her life, pondered the fish, without realizing that sparrows are mostly herbivores.
