R. Paul quotes from Wittgenstein:
"A French politician once wrote that it was a peculiarity of the French
language that in it words occur in the order in which one thinks them.)".
I wonder if this is Ogden's (or as I suppose it is, D. F. Pears and B.
F. McGuinness') translation.
It is Miss Anscombe's translation. I would give you the German, but he
is too heavy to lift.
