The Letter E
It ain’t that important
--
A Bengali poet jokingly asked Michael Datta an Anglo poet of great renown “As a master of the English language, can you make a sentence without use of the letter “E”?”
His response the poet replied: “I doubt I can. It’s a major part of many words. Omitting it is as hard as making muffins without flour. It’s as hard as spitting without saliva or napping without a pillow, driving a train without tracks, washing your hands without soap. Anyway, what would I gain. An award? A cash bonus? Bragging rights? Why should I strain my brain? It’s not worth it”.
