“Why ask? Next will come a demand about which you already know all you need to know: that its sole measure is your own strength.”
(Dag Hammarskjold, Markings, p. 124)

Gentle Sir Philip Sidney, thou knew'st what belong'd to a scholler; thou knew'st what pains, what toil, what travail conduct to perfection.
About Me
- Piers
- West Tennessee, United States
- "I am grown at length to see into the vanity of the world more than ever I did, and now I condemn myself for nothing so much as playing the dolt in print . . . . There is nothing that if a man list he may not wrest or pervert. I cannot forbid any to think villainously, Sed caveat emptor, let the interpreter beware; for none ever heard me make allegories of an idle text."

Markings has been with me since my college days and I always found much to make me think within its pages. What a great thought for this day and this time. Thanks Chris for the reminder. You are, by the way, a man of great strength.
