“A true revelation, it seems to me, will only emerge from stubborn concentration on a solitary problem. I am not in league with inventors or adventurers, nor with travellers to exotic destinations. The surest – also the quickest – way to awake the sense of wonder in ourselves is to look intently, undeterred at a single object. Suddenly, miraculously, it will reveal itself as something we have never seen before.”

August 21, 2008Always be circumspect.
Disdain explanation.
Forget grandiose hopes.
Invoke justice.
Keep little.
Make no orations.
Pursue quietude.
Repent.
Stifle tears.
Undergo vexation.
Extend your zeal.
Edward Gorey, postcard to Andreas Brown.
