A CRACKED KETTLE

Hi Friends,

We’re on vacation with our kids (some) and grandkids so taking a vacation from my writings. Meanwhile, here’s another of my favorite sayings from 19th C. French author Gustave Flaubert’s novel Madame Bovary. 

“Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.”
