Gratitude -- the meanest and most snivelling attribute in the world.
Gratitude -- the meanest and most snivelling attribute in the world.
I had been fed, in my youth, a lot of old wives' tales about the way men would instantly forsake a beautiful woman to flock around a brilliant one. It is but fair to say that, after getting out in the world, I had never seen this happen....
Were you to cross the world, my dear,
To work or love or fight,
I could be calm and wistful here,
And close my eyes at night.
Gratitude -- the meanest and most sniveling attribute in the world.
My world is but a lot of tripe.
. . . as for helping me in the outside world, the Convent taught me only that if you spit on a pencil eraser, it will erase ink.
