    Richard Strauss—Old Home Week in Gomorrah
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    When a man of sense happens to be in that disagreeable situation in which he is obliged to ask himself more than once, What shall I do? he will answer himself, Nothing. When his reason points out to him no good way, he will stop short, and wait for light. A little busy mind runs on at all events, must be doing; and, like a blind horse, fears no dangers, because he sees none. Il faut scavoir s’ennuïer.*
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
