I'm not sure what you are asking here? 



I hope you liked the essay, all sorts of kute Korrespondences there with
M&D--the Bull's Eye and the learned dog. 

What wonderful quotations, how romantik! 

And here, one for this digital life boat wedded forever like the sea and
contemplation 
on this screen. 

Good Evening. I'm Alfred Hitchcock...


Life is always worth living, if one have such responsive sensibilities.
But we of the
highly educated classes (so called) have most of us got far, far away
from Nature.
We are trained to seek the choice, the rare, the exquisite exclusively,
and to
overlook the common. We are stuffed with abstract conceptions, and glib
with
verbalities and verbosities; and in the culture of these higher
functions the peculiar
sources of joy connected with our simpler functions often dry up, and we
grow
stone-blind and insensible to life's more elementary and general goods
and joys.

The remedy under such conditions is to descend to a more profound and
primitive
level. To be imprisoned or shipwrecked or forced into the army would
permanently
show the good of life to many an over-educated pessimist.
