"Do not be a martyr to philosophy, which you will be, if you do not take more exercise, be a little more foolish, and look at the world with all its awkward things, its clumsy, lumpish forms, its fools, its cockscombs, and its scoundrels with more endurance"
Some advice given to Mary Hays by the non-conformist poet George Dyer sometime in the 1780s.
Also: an amazing watercolour by Keinyo White, an American artist living in NZ. I modeled for him when I was living in Christchurch in 2007.
