There are no more
fortunate and happy people
than those who live
according to the correct, infallible
eternal laws of the multiplication table.
The multiplication table never,
do you understand,
never makes mistakes!
No hesitation! No errors!
There is but one truth,
and there is but one path to it;
and that truth is: four,
and that path is: two times two.
Would it not seem preposterous
for these happily multiplied twos
suddenly to begin thinking
of some foolish kind of freedom?
