“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.”

Merry Christmas!

I love this show.

It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on... yesterdays."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
