For those of us not gifted in poetry, it is at least worth while from time to time making an effort to shake off the anaesthetic.

— P.D. James

to look at? The wonderful which comes often or is plentifully about us is soon taken for granted. Th at is practical enough. It allows us to get on with life. But it may stultify if it

for occasional grown-up thoughts.”

— Charles Scott Sherrington
