the chesser-williams house near hog mountain in way northeast gwinnett county, soon to be moved to a "heritage center" --- normally i would say it was not worth the effort, but check out the front porch, which doesn't show the acorn-motif in the frieze at the top of the facade --- and the interior is beyond words --- 125-year-old decoration that nobody ever bothered to "brighten up" ---

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
