I know a man who, at the age of sixty, retired to devote himself to literature. Naturally, he took up the habit of writing and one day, after having spent a week studying the venerable literary magazines —through the 70’s the 80’s the 90’s until today—it occurred to him he should abandon writing altogether. The reason? There were so many names that he did not recognize, so many minor, unheard of talents that he finally understood that he would never escape oblivion.
Hello Everyone,
Here is my new piece of web real estate, a postage stamp as they say, but with a great deal of vertical possibilities! Those of you who remember L0calGh0st (and bless your heart if you do. You are not only good friends, you are old friends.) will recall that the focus was on Education. Not so with this site. In my life reading, writing and education are the most dominant preoccupations. But as I grow older, I am feeling a bit more flexible. Paradox?
