How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

If wishes would prevail with me...

BOY

Would I were in an alehouse in London! I would give all my fame for a pot of ale and some safety.



Meeting with, amongst others, a Tor, Timo, and Veselin. Engagement through Chavez. Such fascinating hours through the end of winter doldrums, although the end of the journey near the horizon makes a mockery of the wait. As days tick on, toward inevitability. Close to Tit Monday in Halifax today, but not yet. We await desert and ocean and monsoon, good annotator. Attired in wonder, and not yet sure of what to say....

But that's all just a little bit of history repeating.
