Life and a Fair Wind.

I’m still taken by surprise when the pendulum of life changes direction. Tedium loses its grip, to be replaced by a dazzling succession of coincidences, connections, compliments and consequences. The sails fill and the ship fairly skips along the tops of the waves. And when she does, the doldrums seem all the more dolorous.

In the throes of the old fatigue problem tonight, and all the nagging little chronic nuisances are yelling at me. Nevertheless...

Blow, wind! come, wrack!
At least we’ll die with harness on our back
