i owe oooodles of love to this space. alas, i have been killer busy at work. but i did come across something that i wanted to put down for the avocats in our midst.
it's from "bartleby the scrivener" by melville. apparently, melville didn't get much respect for this novella. people are just haters.
"Imprimis: I am a man who, from his youth upwards, has been filled with a profound conviction that the easiest way of life is the best. Hence, though I belong to a profession proverbially energetic and nervous, even to turbulence, at times, yet nothing of that sort have I ever suffered to invade my peace. I am one of those unambitious lawyers who never addresses a jury, or in any way draws down public applause: but in the cool tranquility of a snug retreat, do a snug business among rich men's bonds and mortgages and title-deeds. All who know me consider me an eminently safe man."
will write real posts soon. sware.
