The student’s request In the shadowy underneath of a bridge in Isfahan a student sits, dangling his feet over a sluice and reading a book.  He has caught sight of us in a dreamy sort of way, and as he buttons his jacket, gathers his notebooks and moves sidelong in our direction,we recognize he is a Student of English.  “Sir!” he cries.  “Madam!” fluttering his notes and bearing down on us.  “Allow me please to ask you one question, before you leave the bridge: is it permissible or not, in the English language, to pursue a gerund with a participle?”
