+Well, everybody's got a dog. The prime minister is the king's dog. The
+first secretary is the prime minister's dog. A wife is a husband's dog,
+or a husband is a wife's dog. Favourite is Madame So-and-so's dog and
+Thibaut is the man on the corner's dog. When my Master tells me to talk
+when I'd prefer not to, which to be honest doesn't happen very often,
+when he tells me to shut up when I feel like talking, which I find very
+difficult, when he asks me to tell the story of my love-life and then
+keeps interrupting, what am I if not his dog? Weak men are the dogs of

+ I was born beneath this willow,
+ Where my sire the earth did farm
+ Had the green grass as my pillow
+ The east wind as a blanket warm.
+
+ But away! away! called the wind from the west
+ And in answer I did run
+ Seeking glory and adventure

+
+ I found love beneath this willow,
+ As true a love as life could hold,
+ Pledged my heart and swore my fealty
+ Sealed with a kiss and a band of gold.
+
+ But to arms! to arms! called the wind from the west
+ In faithful answer I did run
+ Marching forth for king and country
+ In battles 'neath the midday sun.
+
+ Oft I dreamt of that fair willow
+ As the seven seas I plied
+ And the girl who I left waiting
+ Longing to be at her side.
+
+ But about! about! called the wind from the west
+ As once again my ship did run
+ Down the coast, about the wide world
+ Flying sails in the setting sun.
+
+ Now I lie beneath the willow
+ Now at last no more to roam,
+ My bride and earth so tightly hold me
+ In their arms I'm finally home.

+ While away! away! calls the wind from the west
+ Beyond the grave my spirit, free
+ Will chase the sun into the morning

+I then heard a voice that said: "Damn you, have you no fear of

+walked for a time amongst the palm-trees until I caught sight of a

+added: "Follow this road with God's blessing all night until dawn
+and then by the shore you will see a huge cave in which there is an
+idol made of white stone. You must drink of the water that there is
+coming out of the cave and smear your face with its mud. Stay there

+asked me what I intended to do. "Whatever you tell me," I replied,
+and he said: "Take care not to covet the girl, or I shall come back
+and burn you up and leave you as a lesson for those who can learn."
+I agreed to this and when evening came I found the world full of
+candles and torches burning in holders of gold and silver. There
+were servants and serving girls, and everyone who saw me
+congratulated me on my good fortune, as there was no girl on the
+face of the earth more beautiful than my bride.
+[...]
+'Next morning I went out to the market, and people went in and asked
+her how the night had been. "He never looked up at me," she told
+them. Then, when it was afternoon, I went to my house, where the
+ape was sitting by the door. "Tell me what you did," it said, and I
+told it: "By God, I did not learn and do not know whether this was a
+man or a girl." "That's what I want," it said.
+[...]
+'On the second night my bride was brought to me, after which the
+servants left her and went away. She fell asleep, and, while she
+was sleeping, I killed the cock, wrapped it in the cloth and put the
+four poles from the couch over it. Suddenly there was a huge crash
+like a peal of thunder and a fiery 'ifrit swooped on the girl. I
+fainted at the sight and when I recovered I heard a voice saying:
+"By the Lord of the Ka'ba, the girl has been carried off!" and there
+was a sound like the rustling of wind and bitter weeping. At this I

+ The poor world is almost six thousand years old, and in all
+ this time there was not any man died in his own person,
+ videlicit, in a love-cause. Troilus had his brains dashed
+ out with a Grecian club; yet he did what he could to die
+ before, and he is one of the patterns of love. Leander, he
+ would have lived many a fair year, though Hero had turned
+ nun, if it had not been for a hot midsummer night; for, good
+ youth, he went but forth to wash him in the Hellespont and
+ being taken with the cramp was drowned and the foolish
+ coroners of that age found it was 'Hero of Sestos.' But these
+ are all lies: men have died from time to time and worms have
+ eaten them, but not for love.

+It's not so much that people don't value the programs after they have them--they
+do value them. But they're not the sort of thing that would ever catch on if
+they had to overcome the marketing barrier. (I don't yet know if perl will
+catch on at all--I'm worried enough about it that I specifically included an
+awk-to-perl translator just to help it catch on.) Maybe it's all just an
+inferiority complex. Or maybe I don't like to be mercenary.
+
+So I guess I'd say that the reason some software comes free is that the
+mechanism for selling it is missing, either from the work environment, or from
+the heart of the programmer.

can do with perl you can eventually do with an amazing and totally
