Thinking, Fast and Slow

Very hard to find a book that satisfies a boy like Narayan. He is mostly justified. Most books are boring, poorly written, little imagination, barely skilled.

It is a challenge to find a book that interests him. what a surprise we both found in Cressida Cowell. These books will keep us well for a year.

book: Riding Freedom is an engaging read

Perhaps, it will tell how love can bend what discipline could not overpower

book: the education of american dreamer

book: Seven Pleasures by Willard Spiegelman

How small a thing is art, A little pain;
disappointment, and any man feels a depth - a boundlessness of emotion,
inarticulate thoughts no poet has ever succeeded in imag[in]g.
Death does not conquer me, I conquer death
I am the master

Changing Minds

Observing this phenomenon, one cannot but wonder how an environment can make people despair and sit idle and then, by changing the conditions, one can transform the same people into matchless performers

Before the gods that made the gods
Had seen their sunrise pass,
The White Horse of the White Horse Vale
Was cut out of the grass.

Before the gods that made the gods
Had drunk at dawn their fill,
The White Horse of the White Horse Vale
Was hoary on the hill.

Age beyond age on British land,
Aeons on aeons gone,
Was peace and war in western hills,
And the White Horse looked on.

For the White Horse knew England
When there was none to know;
He saw the first oar break or bend,
He saw heaven fall and the world end,
O God, how long ago.

For the end of the world was long ago,
And all we dwell to-day
As children of some second birth,
Like a strange people left on earth
After a judgment day.
