I lie down by the side
A scrapbook of things to share with you, whoever you may be.

"Feel, feel, I say—feel for all you’re worth, and even if it half kills you, for that is the only way to live." - Henry James
projectgutenberg: “You don’t believe in me,” observed the Ghost. “I don’t,” said Scrooge. “What evidence would you have of my reality beyond that of your senses?” “I don’t know,” said Scrooge. “Why do you doubt your senses?” “Because,” said Scrooge, “a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!” - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol (1843) illustrated by John Leech [full text] Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!!
