| Quotation | Went down to concelebrate early, then came back and spent the whole morning on a slow reading of The Myth of Sisyphus (Camus) which I shied away from before. Now it is just right, just what I need, suits me perfectly for I see my vocation to be an absurd man if ever there was one! Or at least to try to think in some such honest terms. |
