Skepticism, is that anything more than we used to mean when we said, Well, what have we here?
Robert Frost
Image
I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. May no fate wilfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better.

The style is the man. Rather say the style is the way the man takes himself and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. If it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. If it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. No other way will do.

Image
Nothing not built with hands of course is sacred. But here is not a question of what's sacred Rather of what to face or run away from. I'd hate to be a runaway from nature.

God turned to speak to me (Don't anybody laugh) God found I wasn't there At least not over half.
