Critics' Gaffes por Ronald Duncan
What did learned professors have to say about flying?
'Artificial flight is impossible'...
'Space travel is utter bilge'...
What did the papers say about the Gettysburg Address?
'The President acted without sense'...

The Post-Impressionists? ...'an extremely bad joke or a swindle'...
Twelfth Night? ...'...but a silly play'...

See for yourself how wrong they could be...… (mais)
