The little girl
runs from the box of the beans where one wins
to
the box of the small chickens where one loses.
Jean
Giono - Naissance de l’Odyssée
The Great Game is
played with a board of twelve Boxes, that have to be
covered, like at hopscotch : it is not very complex, although several
levels of use coexist.
Before going any further, I
suggest, my dear ladies, my dear sirs, we read what Jean de La Bruyère said in 1688 to my great-great-great grandfather:
"Palm-readers and soothsayers
indeed are of some use: they predict that men will
make a fortune, that women will marry their
lovers...in short, they deceive at a giveaway price
those who wish to be deceived.
What can one think of magic
and spell?
The theory of it is obscure,
the principles are vague, uncertain, and close to
visionary; but there are embarrassing facts, claimed
by solemn men who have seen them...
To admit or to deny them all
seems an equal snag; and I dare declare that, having
said that, there is an option to find between
credulous souls and freethinkers."
