got to see ivy hall up close today---pretty impressive restoration of the building---the interior designs were a little overwrought for my taste, but they've done a great job conserving original finishes where they existed---lots of wonderful woodwork and beautifully preserved lincrusta

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
