Sunday, December 07, 2003 Musing "Evil is insolent and strong; beauty enchanting but rare; goodness apt to be weak; folly very apt to be defiant; wickedness to carry the day. But the world as it stands is no illusion, no phantasm, no evil dream of a a night; we wake up to it again for ever and ever; we can neither forget it nor deny it nor dispense with it. We can welcome experience as it comes, and give it what it demands, in exchange for something which it is idle to pause to call much or little so long as it contributes to swell the volume of consciusness. In this there is mingled pain and delight, but over the mysterious mixture there hovers a vgisible rule, that bids us learn to will and seek to understand." Henry James -- Ivan Turgenieff posted by Mark Butterworth | 2:38 AM | |
