"It is things going right," [Syme] cried, "that is poetical! Our digestions, for instance, going sacredly and silently right, that is the foundation of all poetry. Yes, the most poetical thing, more poetical than the flowers, more poetical than the stars--the most poetical thing in the world is not being sick." --G. K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday
(I borrowed this quote from Queen of Carrots for my own purposes...)

:-) I am currently enthralled with Chesterton, although I haven't read much of his work yet. On my way out here I was reading "Orthodoxy" on the plane. The man in the seat next to me asked me if it was about dentistry. . .
I just finished this book a few months ago. It was very interesting.
Love your header!
Love that quote!
I *loved* that book, but wow, what a brain twister! It really does read like a nightmare...
Thanks for the comment, Danielle - I like the header too! I can't think of a reason to change it, and *that* is saying something!
