Autumn Morning


How Bo loves this moody autumn weather, overcast and windy. He will stay outside forever. I fancy it, too, and I oblige the old boy, reading my Homer out there, even feeling as though we could be standing on the strife-filled plains of Troy.

A Man Above Men


When King Darius sent him a letter asking him to accept 10,000 talents in return for the prisoners, all the land west of the river Euphrates, one of his daughters in marriage and friendship and alliance, Alexander put the terms to his companions. "If I were Alexander," Parmenion said, "I would accept these terms." "And so would I," said Alexander, "if I were Parmenion."

-- Plutarch, Life of Alexander

There are men and then there are men. And then you have Monk.
