Commonplace Book

'Cabin life is like sandpaper. It scours the soul, lays bare one's being, ensavages the mind, and reclaims the body for the wild, but deep in the heart it unfolds the most sensitive nerve endings. The hermit gains in gentleness what he loses in civility...'

from The Consolations of the Forest by Sylvain Tesson (July 16)
