From Charles Williams Decent into Hell

“Don’t you think so?” Watteau, whose actual name was Myrtle Fox, asked, “It’s what I always feel–about trees and flowers and leaves and so on–they’re so friendly. Perhaps you don’t notice it so much; I’m rather mystic about nature. Like Wordsworth. I should love to spend days out with nothing but the trees and the leaves and the wind. Only somehow one never seems to find the time. But I do believe they’re all breathing in with us, and it’s such a comfort–here, where there are so many trees. Of course, we’ve only to sink into ourselves to find peace–and trees and clouds and so on all help us. One never need be unhappy. Nature’s so terribly good. Don’t you think so, Mr. Stanhope?”

Which obviously brings to mind a brilliant Wodehouse quip which I’ve lately been using on my children,
“If it isn’t too much trouble, would you be so kind as to stop driveling.”

Hope you have a very pleasant Monday and take a moment to thank God and pray for our troops. Thank you Grandpa!
