The
margin

The importance of this brief note can at the very best be considered

marginal.

That is to say, the important words are more likely to appear in the

margin.

In fact, there is very little of importance in this note outside the right

margin.

 

 

Following this rather inane and boring introduction, I must now try

[missed!]

to fit everything unimportant I have to say on the main page with the

margin

reserved only for the important bits.

 

 

 

This may sound like an easy task but I can tell you now that the right

margin

has become a major constraint on my writing style.  For instance the

“margin”

word must not be used anywhere else in the text, outside the right

margin.

 

 

The frequent and obsessive use of the dreaded word only within the

margin,

completely destroys the prospect of any clever writing outside the

margin.

 

 

When I started this note, I thought that something significant and not

marginal

would come out of it.  The intention was not to be constrained by the

margin.

In fact, I intended to ignore such physical limitations and feel free to

[missed, again!]

write on whatever came into my mind; e.g. science or art, within the

margin

of decency.  But quickly I discovered that the mere presence of  a

margin

on my writing paper was enough to frustrate my liberal approach and

marginalise

me as a prose writer; confining me to  what some people call  literary

margin.
