oddities feelings enlightenment
It is a special kind of enlightenment to have this feeling that the usual, the way things normally are, is odduncanny and highly improbable. G.K.Chesterton once said that it is one thing to be amazed at gorgon or a griffin, creatures which do not exist; but it is quite another and much higher thing to be amazed at a rhinoceros or a giraffe, creatures which do exist and look as if they don't.

oddities exactly-is effort
Consider the oddity of those drug commercials on television.

Sudden death is my favorite because there is something comical about it being a side effect. What exactly is the main effect in that case? Relief from abdominal bloating? Charles Krauthammer

Poetry is not efficient. If you want to learn how to cook a lobster, it’s probably best not to look to poetry.
