Quote of the moment: “Between the onion and the parsley, therefore, I shall give the summation of my case for paying attention. Man’s real work is to look at the things of the world and to love them for what they are. That is, after all, what God does, and man was not made in God’s image for nothing.” (Robert Farrar Capon, Supper of the Lamb, 19)
