Almost a Haiku

" Good sense is dead, its child, science killed it to find out how it was made."

From the novel, Innocence by Penelope Fitzgerald, the phrase is attributed to Antonio Gramsci..


Innocence  is a truly brilliant novel, with a sensibility somewhere between Jane Austen and Henry James.  It is strange that someone, preferably Paolo Sorrentino, hasn't made a movie of this novel.
