Le Romaunt du Pet au deable

"Must we always talk for victory, and never once for truth, for comfort and joy? Here is centrality and penetration, strong understanding, and the higher gifts, the insight of the real, or from the real, and the moral rectitude which belongs to it: but all this and all his resources of wit and invention are lost to me in every experiment that I make to hold intercourse with his mind; always some weary captious paradox to fight you with, and the time and temper wasted "

when I see like libraries and museums or doctors or dentists offices that have cards and drawings from kids up on the walls I always think that maybe the kids are grown up now and probably dont even remember when they wrote a card to the ear doctor or when they drew a cow and hung it up on the drawing wall at the library but I’m here seeing it. I just think it’s so sweet these kids could be anywhere maybe some of them are artists or doctors or maybe they’re at university in a different city and they have no idea that the drawing they left somewhere can give people joy when they see it many years later. same thing with like painted rocks people have left places. we should all make more things
