in this life that it is an act of ingratitude not
to be happy and content in this existence.”

Books transport you to new worlds. They can provide entertainment, relaxation, inspiration, and information and even increase longevity.

We don't receive wisdom;
We must discover it for ourselves
After a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.

Marcel Proust

England, bound in with the triumphant sea 
Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege 
Of watery Neptune.

Richard II 2.1

‘Two voices are there; one is of the sea,
One of the mountains; each mighty voice:
In both from age to age thou didst rejoice.
They were thy chosen music. Liberty!’
William Wordsworth

‘Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
But sad mortality o’er-sways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?’ [Ib. 65]
-Shakespeare, Poems

‘There is in souls a sympathy with sounds;
And as the mind is pitched the ear is pleased. With melting airs or martial brisk, or grave.
Some chord in unison with what we hear,
Is touched within us, and the heart replies’
(The Winter Walk at Noon’

William Cowper 1731-1800

Let the radiant thought last in stillness
though the page is almost filled and the flame flickers”

Somewhere out there,
Someone is listening to birds instead of breaking news
And the world feels a little more hopeful there.
