ESTEEM-BUILDER WEDNESDAY
"'Who are you?' the minstrel asked.
'I am the Golux,' said the Golux, proudly, 'the only Golux in the world,
and not a mere Device.'"
(The 13 Clocks, Thurber)
HERR KEPLER'S NOTEBOOK
Time is the bully anchor of the opposing tug-rope team.
The person with a happy home life tracks glitter through the world; the solitary person leaves snowprints.
-------------------------------------
"The grasshopper warbler's song comes up out of the earth just as you think the day is quietening down. It has no prelude or warm-up: it starts midperformance, as if switched on by the dark, as it if has been singing like this beneath the earth until it was dark enough to come to the surface. As if, though we hardly hear it, this singing never stops."
