The agreeable eye

an eudæmonist

ascent

The view from outcrop of a wooded hill towards a distant forested valley just beginning to glow in the light of the morning sun

Bin guter Stimmung, habe wieder gearbeitet. Am besten kann ich jetzt arbeiten während ich Kartoffeln schäle. Melde mich immer freiwillig dazu. Es ist für mich dasselbe was das Linsenschleifen für Spinoza war.

I’m in a good mood, worked again. I can think best right now when I am peeling potatoes. Always volunteer for it. It is for me what grinding lenses was for Spinoza.

—Wittgenstein (Private Notebooks, trans. Marjorie Perloff, 15.ix.1914)
