Since it is a joy to have the benefit of what is good, it is a greater one to experience what is better, and in art the best is good enough. Goethe:Italienische Reise |

When I appreciate what I have, anything more seems like a win fall. Focusing on things being 'good enough' can really lighten up the load and make the journey much more fun. BB |

22 Jan 00 - 01:02 PM (#166730) Subject: RE: Thought for the day - January 21, 2000 From: Peter T. And Goethe's Italian Journey is the best of the best. If you have never read it, treat yourself. A young man discovering Italy at the end of 18th century. Some good editions also have the terrific erotic poetry -- the Roman Elegies and the Venetian Epigrams (some so filthy they only made it into print in the last 20 years). Thanks for the quote, kat: reminds me to go and get the books out again!! yours, Peter T. |
