Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a misunderstanding about what nonsensical things are - the idea that they're just funny, and that's the beginning and the end of it. Nonsense is not 'not sense' - it operates at the edge of sense. It teems with sense - at the same time, it resists any kind of universal understanding.
Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited.
Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.
Evolution is baseless and quite incredible.
Evolution is an indispensable component of any satisfying explanation of our psychology.
I give the name of cosmic sense to the more or less confused affinity that binds us psychologically to the All which envelops us. The existence of this feeling is indubitable, and apparently as old as the beginning of thought... The cosmic sense must have been born as soon as man found himself facing the forest, the sea and the stars.

A probing analysis of the problems of evolution forms the basis of my prose.
All the evolution we know of proceeds from the vague to the definite.
