Everybody should read "The Ring and the Book" once a year. I am getting to be Socratic. Socrates liked life, and I like it, every bit of it. Why should n't I, when I have been privileged to see it from a thousand sides, and it has all nourished and benefited me? I used to keep a Diary, mental, of cruelties inflicted upon me, but now I have quit it.
