[Mark Kohut]

*Reminds me of Pascal's aphorism about being still in a room. I'm good. *

“I confess it sometimes seems to me that men and women are very poor
creatures. I suppose I am romantic. I have an unfortunate taste for poetic
fitness. Life is hard prose, and one must learn to read prose contentedly.”
Henry James, “Madame de Mauves” (1874)
