I have...I enjoyed reading your overview very much! I have been thinking about that "countenance" quote for some time now...not sure why, but the whole idea is a bit peculiar to me. (In a good way, though. Must be my 21st century sensibilities...)<br /><br />Admiration, Hope and Love,<br /><br />NancyNancy Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574031101073589680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-1344362270081325412011-10-12T06:30:52.682-05:002011-10-12T06:30:52.682-05:00wow. thank you.
i can't believe you linked to...wow. thank you. <br />i can't believe you linked to the The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society! the english book club here in trujillo just finished that book and as i was not in country for the first meetings, i didn't participate... but everyone just raved about it so i will be reading it currently :)<br /><br />one of my favorite quotes from the PR article is near the beginning: <br />"Stevenson, realizing that he possessed "the knowledge sure he should endure a child until he died," perhaps consciously cultivated this power of intentness on the matter under consideration--this getting to the heart of things which, he maintained, could only come by a full and fixed determination on the part of each human being to go through life in the spirit of the true explorer."<br /><br />and then,<br />"Education, then, to him was a journey, full of the delights of wide landscape, fresh invigorating air, or alternate sunshine and shadow, the great wide road stretching infinitely before--leading to that heart of its own, the beat of which he so longed to hear."<br /><br />good thoughts. :)<br /><br />oh and I am so thrilled to know about who Blogg was... so thrilled! I can hardly believe it!Amy in Peruhttp://fisheracademy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-85675064005545315062011-10-12T00:08:17.945-05:002011-10-12T00:08:17.945-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.amy in peruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514765606705513864noreply@blogger.com
