That’s Coleridge. I like it because it’s gross and the rhythm is perfect. The line break is between things and lived. If you’re wondering. Anyway. Upward, not northward! Here we go.
I have a vacation coming up. This is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. There is sure to be a leisurely perusal of books I’ve already read, piping hot paper [...]
