An Exercise in, and comment on, Cryptic



Lungimus armis.
Communes habetur cognitio relaxat.
Lungimus armis.
Diligens requies habetur.
(Using Tolstoy's link between 'knowledge' and 'love')

Cryptic language or code
Sometimes, dear Reader, it's personal. Sometimes, of course,
it is not, but will, nevertheless, taken to be so. The point of cryptic language is that it only rings true for those who already believe that they know to what the communication is making reference. For the rest such terms, assertions and symbols are meaningless.
