Very nice? That is an awesome post. One passage alone is worthy of F Scott Fitzgerald:
"As the hourglass of our life runs down, we impatiently scan the horizon for the sails of the triannual fleet, eagerly anticipating another stupefying cargo of blood-soaked metal, buffoonish apes, and fancy feathers to put in our hair. Gilpin indeed uses the image of windblown feathers to depict the tomfoolery in which we squander our days, as one by one, like ships of desire, they vanish over the horizon."
Thanks, Grimm, for your site. I might not post often, but I deeply appreciate the time and focus it must take for you to produce it. I've learned a lot.
