Not happy.

 

Another book not available on Kindle.

I had to wait three week via ILL. The foreword alone is incredible.

 

I can't even describe, and I have quite the vocabulary when I want to bust a move.

I'm ignoring you now.

Sertillanges on solitude:

 

Without retirement, there is no inspiration. But within the circle of the lamplight, the stars of thought gather above us, as it were in a firmament.

 

When silence takes possession of you; when far from the racket of the human highway the sacred fire flames up in the stillness; when peace, which is the tranquility of order, puts order in your thoughts, feelings, and investigations, you are in the supreme disposition for learning; you can bring your materials together; you can create; you are definitely at your working point; it is not the moment to dwell on wretched trifles, to half live while time runs by, and to sell heaven for nothings.

[Bang!Zoom!]

Ps:

 

Every paragraph in this book is that beautiful. :p

It sounds like a retreat in a book. I will put it on my wish list for some time in the future when I have some quiet days ahead. We are starting back to school on Monday, so my lazy dog days are pretty much gone.

 

Thanks for sharing.
