“Good literature continually read for pleasure must, let us hope, do some good to the reader: must quicken his perception though dull, and sharpen his discrimination though blunt, and mellow the rawness of his personal opinions.”--A.E. Housman, born on this day in 1859.

Wish I could have met Flannery O’Connor. She sounds like a wonderful person.
