[3] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)

logomachy, n.  a war in which the weapons are words and the wounds
punctures in the swim-bladder of self-esteem -- a kind of contest in
which, the vanquished being unconscious of defeat, the victor is
denied the reward of success.

    'tis said by divers of the scholar-men
    that poor salmasius died of milton's pen.
    alas we cannot know if this is true,
    for reading milton's wit we perish too.
