Katherine Jenkins - Time To Say Goodbye
During that trip came to my mind one of my favorite childhood books: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.
I transcribed my favorite passage in the book that it applies to the task of 365 textures, which began about a year ago and that it is ready to end.
What a great gift with the writers! They can express what some of us would like to say in words so beautiful.
Thanks Mark Twain!
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain
Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world, after all. He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it – namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended that Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. And this would help him to understand why constructing artificial flowers or performing on a tread-mill is work, while rolling ten-pins or climbing Mont Blanc is only amusement. There are wealthy gentlemen in England who drive four-horse passenger-coaches twenty or thirty miles on a daily line, in the summer, because the privilege costs them considerable money; but if they were offered wages for the service, that would turn it into work and then they would resign.
The boy mused awhile over the substantial change which had taken place in his worldly circumstances, and then wended toward headquarters to report.
