Work Not yet Begun

by Christina Rossetti (1830–1894)

His master replied, “You wicked, lazy servant!” - Matthew 25:26

Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes: work never begun.

“Well begun is half done,” says our English proverb.

Whilst the Italians say: “Il più duro passo è quello della soglia” (The hardest step is at the threshold); and again, “Cosa fatta capo ha” (That which is done has a beginning).

True, the final verdict depends on the ending: but neither good nor bad ending can ensue except from some manner of beginning.

I have heard tell of a painter who sought far and wide for an atmosphere wherein to paint. At last he found an available atmosphere in Italy: and returning thither he worked? Not so: he died.

A bad beginning may be retrieved and a good ending achieved. No beginning, no ending.

It is bad to work loiteringly: it may be worse to loiter instead of beginning to work at all.

Magic au: Bad Beginnings Part 1

•Violet, Klaus, and Sunny always knew they were different from other people, simple things like animals liking them or being able to tell the weather, also that they have fair looks but brushed that off because of their parents looks and that they were kids

•They knew their parents were different from other adults like when they swore they saw their mother glowing or she would talk to her flowers and even the trees sometimes, while their father was an undefeated champion in any game as if he could read people’s minds and was always prepared for any situation as if he knew what was going to happen

•Before Mr.Poe arrived at the beach, each Baudelaire felt a sense of pain in their chest of loss that even the light wind became a gust and felt for once that the world was talking, and it said death

•when they arrived to see the skeleton of their once home they looked around and found a couple of things that looked normal; a piece of a spy glass, a worn leather fat bag which holds nothing a first glance and the shadow of a bat flying around the wreakage

Magic au: Bad Beginnings Part 2

•upon arrival the Baudelaires knew immediately that they were not suppose to be there, and the very sight of Olaf was proof of it

•the kids were immediately put to work around the house and slow they felt changes to themselves; Violet and Klaus brushed it off thinking it was puberty, and Sunny just so happen to already have sharp teeth so didn’t think much of it

•it wasn’t until Klaus got slapped that Violet started noticing that people’s cheeks started to get and abnormal blush that started to look like shapes did she start to get worried

•when Olaf said that announcement of the Marvalous Marriage she was not sure to take him seriously because all she could really notice was that he had triangles on his cheeks after he said that ‘we were going to love it’
