@goinggodward Brings to mind:

"Women began their inner emancipation by their access to literature, by access to the world through books; an access they could not have socially or politically, or of course economically, in the world at large."

Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade,
Where heaves the turf in many a mould'ring heap,
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid,
The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.

@JMays56 @notgaetti No way he breaks every record in the books. As stated he was in decline before ALS. He hit 49 HRs in 1936 and 37 following year. Even assuming he hits 50 a year from then on he doesn't top Ruth.

What is the ultimate "meaning" of Moby-Dick?

Howard Mumford Jones:

"But all the things that God would have us do are hard for us to do . . . And if we obey God, we must disobey ourselves; and it is in this disobeying ourselves, wherein the hardness of obeying God consists."
