To make this story work, the author sprinkles several of her characters with heavy doses of evil and others with heavy doses of stupidity. Taken together, this recipe feels overly seasoned. But if you're hungry, you might as well try it. Mackenzie's m ...more |

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
― Collected Poems and Translations

And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.”
