calling giant strides .

just started reading ouspenskys a new model of the universe last night and guess what you got a mention . here is  ouspenskys own words , the year 1890 or 1891 . an evening preparation in the second moscow gymnasium , A large class room lit by kerosene lamps with large shades . yellow cupboards along the walls .boarders in holland blouses , stained with ink , are bending over their desks a forbidden novel by dumas or gaboriau , some are whispering to their neighbours . but outwordly they all look alike, at the masters desk sits the master on duty , a tall lanky german , giant stride , in his uniform ... a blue tailcoat with gold buttons .  you are now embedded in my mind forever giant .
