Not a vacation home t'was

Yet we spent a great deal of time and feels welcome,

None hoped to seek serendipity

Yet it all was an accidental sagacity,

All about morning dews and the peacock flew,

Of friendships and dinings done right,

Mostly learned together with the "extended"

One big happy familie t'was

Of moonshines, halos and cheap thrills

~wisdom feels~

"In getting my books, I have been always solicitous of an ample margin; this not so much through any love of the thing in itself, however agreeable, as for the facility it affords me of pencilling suggested thoughts, agreements, and differences of opinion, or brief critical comments in general... All this may be whim; it may be not only a very hackneyed, but a very idle practice;–yet I persist in it still; and it affords me pleasure.

The marginalia are deliberately pencilled, because the mind of the reader wishes to unburthen itself of a thought;–however flippant–however silly–however trivial–still a thought indeed, not merely a thing that might have been a thought in time, and under more favorable circumstances. In the marginalia, too, we talk only to ourselves; we therefore talk freshly–boldly- originally–with abandonnement–without conceit

I found myself at length forming a wish that it had been some other hand than my own which had so bedevilled the books, and fancying that, in such case, I might have derived no inconsiderable pleasure from turning them over. From this the transition–thought was natural enough:–there might be something even in my scribblings which, for the mere sake of scribblings would have interest for others."
