joy and sweetness, philanthropy and mystic sorrow

"This is a story of Danny's friends and Danny's house. It is a story of how these three became one thing, so that in Tortilla Flat if you speak of Danny's house you do not mean a structure of wood flaked with old whitewash, overgrown with ancient untrimmed rose of Castile. No, when you speak of Danny's house you are Understood to mean a unit of which the parts are men, from which came sweetness and joy, philanthropy and, in the end, a mystic sorrow." -John stienbeck

For those of you who take Halloween decoration to a specificity level that requires reference assistance, you can always call upon the entomological resources of the Biodiversity Heritage Library, which contains works like American Spiders and Their Spinningwork by Henry McCook (1889).
