A quotation from Horace

Fortune nor home not more the man can cheer,
Who lives a prey to covetise or fear,
Than may a picture’s richest hues delight
Eyes that with dropping rheum are thick of sight,
Or warm soft lotions soothe a gout-racked foot,
Or aching ears be charmed by twangling lute.
On minds unquiet joy has lost its power;
In a foul vessel everything turns sour.
 
[Qui cupit aut metuit, iuvat ilium sic domus et res,
Ut lippum pictae tabulae, fomenta podagrum,
Auriculas citbarae collecta sorde dolentes.
Sincerumst nisi vas, quodcumque infundis acescit.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 2 “To Lollius,” l. 51ff (1.2.51-54) (14 BC) [tr. Martin (1881)]

During my youth, the Blanket Stand was always the first game of chance one encountered upon entering the Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall. Pennsylvania, 1973. #grange #grangefair #grangefairandencampment #encampment #glamping #blanket #blankets #blanketstand #gamesofchance #gameofchance #gambling #gamblingstands #fair #fairs #carnival #carnivals #summer #summerfun #summerentertainment #entertainment #entertainments #camping #pink #blue #colorful #tent #tents #enjoyment

A quotation from A. A. Milne

   “When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”
   “What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”
   “I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting to-day?” said Piglet.
   Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
   “It’s the same thing,” he said.

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 10 “Christopher Robin Gives a Pooh Party” (1926)
