Entire
The universe does not hate us, nor care about us.
We are symbols, waves on the ocean, here then gone.
When we are wise, we see our own lives the same way.
Between existence and the void life flows back and forth in a wave.
Never the same, always the same.
The movement is the life.
Be silent, watch the fulcrum.
Entire.
A term rarely used now in connexion with beer but still seen on inn signs, etc. Before the introduction of porter in the early 18th century the chief malt liquors were ale, beer, and twopenny (a superior kind of ale sold at 2d. a pint.) The constant demand for a mixture induced the brewers to combine the flavours of these three in a liquor drawn from one cask. This was called Entire, or, being much drunk by porters and their like, Porter.
