#200: A Milestone of Sorts.

At the same time I have been reading G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy on my new kindle.  The book was free, along with his Heretics, his Father Brown Stories, The Wind in the Willows, a Spanish version of Don Quijote, the Gospel of John, and Alice in Wonderland.  In Orthodoxy I have just reread the "Ethics of Elfland."  What a delightful chapter: "...stories of magic alone can express my sense that life is not only a pleasure but a kind of eccentric privilege."  If my hands worked well, I would quote a number of examples of his insights.  "...we should thank God for beer and Burgandy by not drinking too much of them."   But they don't.  So it's off to find #201 in the plethora of delightful things around me.  "The greatest of poems is an inventory."  GKC
