“As I grow old, I feel reviving in myself . . .

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

” . . . an opposite instinct, a Castilian love of mended clothes, simple monotonous days, and a minimum of belongings.”
— George Santayana, letter to Shohig Sherry Terzian (December 27, 1937) posted by Michael Gilleland at Laudator Temporis Acti.
