Flowers

Just PicturesTom, Aspiring SimpletonTom, Aspiring Simpleton

Trout Lilies are just the loveliest of wildflowers. Their leaves look very much like the backs of wild brook trout. These pictures of flowers are from previous years but that's what they'll look like. We will miss the blooms as we might be away as they bloom. https://t.co/Zbv5kXhQKk

@PhilOutsider Wasn't a non-sequitur. Dri ing out of the Virgin River. Anyone into that region there's a dark pallor that hangs over it. There's a reason Stephen King gathered bad people there in The Stand

Book Cover for: G.K. Chesterton - The Ballad of the White Horse: "To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.", G. K. Chesterton

G.K. Chesterton - The Ballad of the White Horse: "To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it."

G. K. ChestertonTom, Aspiring SimpletonTom, Aspiring Simpleton

“To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.” –GK Chesterton; A Short History of England I've been pondering the difference between "ought" & "is" between "can" & "should." I think man's hubris is great. We can't seem to accept being content.

Cloud Cuckoo Land

Anthony DoerrTom, Aspiring SimpletonTom, Aspiring Simpleton

Seems to me that Anthony Doerr wrote @wrathofgnon into his latest novel Cloud Cuckoo Land. When discussing a 1st C codex found in a 10th C binding from Constantinople one professor marvels, but a classicist from Tokyo says its probably just a bunch of nothing. Hmmm???
