“Sir Walter Elliot, of Kellynch Hall, in Somersetshire, was a man who, for his own amusement,
never took up any book but the Baronetage; there he found occupation for
an idle hour, and consolation in a distressed one; there his faculties were roused
into admiration and respect, by contemplating the limited remnant of the earliest
patents; there any unwelcome sensations, arising from domestic affairs changed
naturally into pity and contempt as he turned over the almost endless creations
of the last century; and there, if every other leaf were powerless, he could read
his own history with an interest which never failed.”

The unwise man is awake all night,
and ponders everything over;
when morning comes he is weary of mind,
and all is a burden as ever. – Havamal

about this drawer…

This dusty old desk drawer has been crafted in the style of
the text only website. Is there anything more timeless than
the text file? I have opened an old chest and found within
the aging leaves of a worn but well beloved book.
