Memorize some bit of verse of truth or beauty.
It may serve a turn in your life."

tallerdeloido: A birth with gains and losses.
The mind sees the world as a thing apart,
And the soul makes the world at one with itself.
A mirror scratched reflects no image—
And this is the silence of wisdom.
Edgar Lee Masters (1868–1950). Spoon River Anthology. 1916.
margiedeck: Best thing I read today—
She took my strength by minutes,
She took my life by hours,
She drained me like a fevered moon
That saps the spinning world.
