Barnestorming Through The Generation Gap

(With LCSoL Format)
________________________________________________________________________________________________

In the words of Julian Barnes:

If we know more about consummation,
they knew more about desire.

If we know more about numbers,
they knew more about despair.

If we know more about boasting,
they knew more about memory.

They had foot-kissing,
we have toe-sucking.

You still prefer our side of the equation?
You may well be right.

The Lemon Table,
a short story anthology,
was published in 2004,
when Mr. Barnes was 58 years old.

The quoted text is from a story entitled
The Revival.

Julian's next page is here.

Then try a simple formulation:

If we know more about sex,
they knew more about love.
