    Oooh, so very much this! 👇🏻🥰

    For whenever people frown upon you when you tell them you *love* flaneuring, show them this, pause for a minute to add some drama to it, and then carry on minding your own business.

  6. A quotation from Horace

    He who puts off the hour to begin living rightly
       Is like the yokel who stands at the stream with a sigh:
    “I can’t get across. I’ll wait here till it runs dry.”
       Meanwhile, it flows, forever flows on and rolls by.
     
    [Qui recte vivendi prorogat horam,
    rusticus exspectat dum defluat amnis; at ille
    labitur et labitur in omne volubilis aevum.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 2 “To Lollius,” l. 41ff (1.2.41-42) (20 BC) [tr. Palmer Bovie (1959)]

  7. On a sunny note...

    So far... a 'fair and balanced' cartoon feed today, between florid #TrumpVirus #insanity and 'better angels' of #democracy - and #DogDays

  8. A quotation from Horace

    Of lingering and gain-seeking make an end;
    Think, while there’s time, how soon Death’s pyre may blaze;
    And some brief folly mix with prudent ways:
       At the fit hour ’tis sweet to unbend.
     
    [Verum pone moras et studium lucri
    nigrorumque memor, dum licet, ignium
    misce stultitiam consiliis brevem:
    dulce est desipere in loco.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Odes [Carmina], Book 4, # 12, l. 25ff (4.12.25-28) (13 BC) [tr. Marshall (1908)]
