Public work brings a vicarious but assured sense of immortality. We may be poor, weak, timid, in debt to our landlady, bullied by our nieces, stiff in the joints, shortsighted and distressed; we shall perish, but the cause endures; the cause is great.

I am fierce for work. Without work I am nothing.
Winifred Holtby
Quote of the day
From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever, That dead men rise up never; That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.
