"For us, our house is not insentient matter—it has a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals, and solicitudes, and deep sympathies; it is of us, and we are in its confidence, and live in its grace and in the peace of its benediction. We never come home from an absence that its face does not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome—and we can not enter it unmoved."
—Mark Twain, 1896

DOES THIS PEN WRITE?

I suppose when it comes to the literati, one could say I arrived late in an attempt to grandstand. But that, dear reader, would not be entirely accurate.

Lest you be misled, I am more interested in the lives they lived than in the words they wrote. Although there is something to be said about the unforgettable and often forgotten works of genius.

I write, albeit no longer for a living, but write I do to the extent that there are few and far between who even grasp my communiqués let alone clump them into the unforgettable category. I am more, what you would refer to as, a romantic.

I am, however,
certain that my advent will be posthumous.
This is my accepted fate.
Without fanfare.
As it should be.

And so, while I wait patiently for that moment, I will continue to aspire vicariously so that they will know me when I arrive.
