Re: [microsound] leap second

Actually, it's been attributed to both men. However, my only personal knowledge of it is from interviews of Albert Camus, regarding discussions of  L'etranger. As such, for me, it a quote of Camus. Not that it is really important, of course! I haven't read beyond the basics in Kierkegaard (I waded through a version of Concluding Unscientific Postscript a few dozen years ago), but you'll see me quote Camus often. I am a follower of his mien, reread his works often, and generally have a similar outlook. Camus registers more with me, perhaps because of personality, I haven't a reason why as yet. Give me a few dozen more years, I'll offer a reply. This month I am suffering a reread of some Sartre. Inappropriate for the days I'm living through right now, but what can one do? The books fell out of the book case!
Cheers, and Happy Gregorian New Year!
"Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold." Um, Camus, and? ; )

  not that its really important, but it was actually Kierkegaard who said:
