I can’t describe the feeling when I’m in my bed asleep, and then I wake up with a vision blurred and all my efforts are deterred To reconstruct this image lost There’re certain things my mind won’t do, and even though they’re very few The image glistens like a gem, repairing is not one of them So I’m awake, though in my mind, the image that so unrefined Is calling to me from the deep, tempting me to fall asleep

When I checked, I found that Cervantes did better it: he chose not the hay I’ve given him, but wrote instead, “En un lugar de la Mancha.” In a place, not There is a place. Existence is good, but action is better, though you’ll have to wait several words for the verb, and it’s a quiet one, vivía, lived, and the subject, un hidalgo, a gentleman. “Well, and what of it?” is a question that occurs more readily about a life than about mere existence, and so we read on, as Cervantes wanted.

“I will bring you flowers from the mountains, bluebells, dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses. I want to do with you what Spring does with the cherry trees.”

I buy books and tell myself that I am buying wisdom and at the end of my life, I own a house full of books.

Do you know what’s ironic? The word poseur. Because I can’t imagine anyone but a poser using that word.

Arterton is British, too, and she plays the damsel-in-distress role with sass and spunk.

A well-informed mind is the best security against the contagion of folly and of vice. The vacant mind is ever on the watch for relief, and ready to plunge into error, to escape from the languor of idleness.

In conversation, the dual flexing of the index and middle finger of both hands, to signify the presence of scare quotes. Used ad nauseam by ‘pretentious’ and ostensibly 'intelligent’ university students, to advertise their 'superior morals’ and 'erudition’.

Using air quotes in this example is, like, so 'post-modern’.

From time to time a word just pop in my mind. Today’s is: *flamboyant*
