7/9: coming across

...one of my favorite sentences today.  I was in the library to proctor a make-up exam, and I was paging through A Room with a View, looking for words that I might want to use in a found-poetry pamphlet project.  I landed on the page with this sentence:  "Choose a place where you won't do harm--yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sun."  I wasn't looking for the sentence, and when I got the book off the shelf I wasn't even remembering that it contained this wonderful sentence (though I had prized it when I had come across it years ago)--so it felt like a gift to come across it again, while my spirits were low, and think, "Ah, yes."
