aph·o·rism noun 1. A tersely
phrased statement of a truth or
opinion; an adage. Synonym saying. 2. A brief
statement of a principle. [French aphorisme,
from Old French, from Late Latin aphorismus,
from Greek aphorismos, from aphorizein,
to delimit, define : apo-, apo- + horizein, to delimit,
define.]
Altogether, the Old Bailey, at
that date, was a choice illustration of
the precept that "Whatever is, is
right"; an aphorism
that would be as final as it is lazy, did
it not include the troublesome
consequence, that nothing that ever was,
was wrong.

CITIES

Rachael Carson Rachel Carson, who wrote Silent Spring and The Sea Around Us, was such a conservator of life -- any life – that when she dipped a small sample of water from the tidal flats in front of her house to put under her microscope, she always returned what was left when the examination was finished. More than this, she returned it at the same tidal level that was present when she had dipped it. Often this meant that she had to set her alarm clock, put on slippers and bathrobe, and find her way down to the sea by flashlight. Hodgepodge Two |
