To crave impossibilities

To crave impossibilities

“17. To crave impossibilities is lunacy; but it is impossible for the wicked to act otherwise.”

Οὐδὲν οὐδενὶ συμβαίνει ὃ οὐχὶ πέφυκε φέρειν. ἄλλῳ τὰ αὐτὰ συμβαίνει καὶ ἤτοι ἀγνοῶν ὅτι συμβέβηκεν, ἢ ἐπιδεικνύμενος μεγαλοφροσύνην, εὐσταθεῖ καὶ ἀκάκωτος μένει. δεινὸν οὖν ἄγνοιαν καὶ ἀρέσκειαν ἰσχυροτέρας εἶναι φρονήσεως.

Book 5

“It is crazy to want what is impossible. And impossible for the wicked not to do so.”

You absolutely CANNOT say this snuck up! There was advance warning. Been mentioning it for over a year.

But there it is, the old digital package, all free now. Should help ameliorate the conditions.

My Name Is Lucy Barton: A Novel

Best of list, last year? Year before? Don’t recall. Tried it before and didn’t like it. But picking it up this time?

“This must be the way most of us maneuver through the world, half knowing, half not, visited by memories that can’t possibly be true.” Page 14.

Soft, sentimental, but understated.

Starts out with an even introduction, soft, almost gentle, a little spartan in style. Hurriedly gets meta, but the frame itself is clever.

It’s sparse, simple, but evocative. Rich in essence by being a beguiling kind of apparent naïveté.

Years later, there’s a sequel. Off to look for that.

When spite of cormorant devouring Time,
Th’ endeavor of this present breath may buy
That honor which shall bate his scythe’s keen edge,
And make us heirs of all eternity.
