You will often meet with characters in nature so extravagant
that a discreet poet would not venture
to set them upon the stage.
Lord Chesterfield
Letters to His Son
We have many colorful characters in our life
The brave
Even if they don't know yet which way is up!
There is the artist lost in their work
The poet lost in their words
The writer of the Great American Novel...
The scientist who has lost it so that the rest of us can find it
They all stroll through the world
A breed unto themselves
And we are all better for it
and that's poetiquejustis
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
Proverbs 9:9
