se dignó a tener una galantería
y consistió en decirme que yo procedía de una familia noble
pues aventajaba con mucho a todos los yahoos..

Happy birthday to :
#JonathanSwift “I never wonder to see men wicked, but I often wonder to see them not ashamed.”
#MarkTwain “Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”
#AbbieHoffman “Free speech means the right to shout 'theatre' in a crowded fire.”
“We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.” - #JonathanSwift (born: 30 November 1667)
"A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, that he is wiser today than yesterday."
✒ #JonathanSwift, Irish author and satirist ("Gulliver's Travels", "A Modest Proposal"), was #BOTD 30 November 1667. #Literature

In 1729, Jonathan Swift published "A Modest Proposal." Although the pamphlet was published 296-years-ago, we can relate it to needless hunger in America, as the government is poised to halt SNAP and/or radically limit it. #booksky #JonathanSwift #hunger

Jonathan Swift turns contradiction into comedy — a playful riddle wrapped in rhyme and irony.
The poet sketches a man who’s “wealthy and poor… humble and proud,” mocking vanity and pretense with razor-sharp wit.

İrlanda'lı şair, yazar ve siyasetçi Jonathan Swift'in aramızdan ayrılışının 280. yılında saygıyla..
DYK the Vatican took a dim view of #JonathanSwift & placed "Gulliver's Travels" (1726) on its "Index of Forbidden Books", making it a mortal sin for a Catholic to read it?
