PERFECT Carmina

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This make it hard to plan the day.
E. B. White

PRESBYTIS HOSEI CANIERUS

What angels invented these splendid ornaments, these rich conveniences, this ocean of air above, this ocean of water beneath, this firmament of earth between? This zodiac of lights, this tent of dropping clouds, this striped coat of climates, this fourfold year? Beasts, fire, water, stones, and corn serve him. The field is at once his floor, his work-yard, his play-ground, his garden and his bed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
