“Nature that framed us of four elements, Warring within our breasts for regiment, Doth teach us all to have aspiring minds: Our souls, whose faculties can comprehend The wondrous architecture of the world, And measure every wandering planet's course, Still climbing after knowledge infinite, And always moving as the restless spheres, Wills us to wear ourselves, and never rest, Until we reach the ripest fruit of all, That perfect bliss and sole felicity, The sweet fruition of an earthly crown.” WorldMindStillsSoulMovingCoursesPerfectTeachFourPlanetsSweetElementsInfiniteFruitArchitectureWanderBlissBreastsFacultyClimbingSpheresSoleCrownsRestlessWondrousFramedFelicityFruitionAlways MovingFour Elements Author:Christopher Marlowe

“I had to get a driver's license and drive to St. Louis to find the punk-rock scene that was happening there. And there was a punk-rock scene. It was sweet. It was real. It was like everywhere else in the county. It was a handful of people who were feeling the same pull, and, of course, it was like the Island of Misfit Toys in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer [1964].

“A comma . . . catches the gentle drift of the mind in thought, turning in on itself and back on itself, reversing, redoubling, and returning along the course of its own sweet river music; while the semicolon brings clauses and thoughts together with all the silent discretion of a hostess arranging guests around her dinner table.” MindTogetherCoursesSweetRiversTablesSilentDinnerGentleGuestsDiscretionClausesDinner TableArrangingHostesses Book:Tropical Classical: Essays from Several Directions Source: Tropical Classical: Essays from Several Directions

“You are very clever,' said the old man shyly. 'I would like to eat your brains, one day,' For some reason the books of etiquette that Daphne's grandmother had forced on her didn't quite deal with this.
