an eudæmonist

a curiosity

The 13th of September 2003, a Saturday, at 8.41

Generally: nor good red herring.

Might be similar to:
resartus
discoursing
practical wisdom
Put down the apple Adam
A view (20)

All overgrown by cunning moss,
All interspersed with weed,
The little cage of ‘Currer Bell’
In quiet ‘Haworth’ laid.

The Bird — observing others
When frosts too sharp became
Retire to other latitudes –
Quietly did the same –

But differed in returning –
Since Yorkshire hills are green –
Yet not in all the nests I meet –
Can Nightingale be seen –

– Emily Dickinson (No. 146)
