"We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the éclat of a proverb." ~Pride and Prejudice
Mr. Darcy may have held out for the brilliance that would amaze the whole room, but at least he didn't have to worry about amazing the whole planet. I'm not sure blogging would have been his thing.
Those of us who regularly read witty blogs and hold an expensive degree in creative writing may identify with Mr. Darcy's hesitation to speak to strangers.
However, with the confidence that this blog's audience will be much closer to zero than 7 billion, and remembering that His grace is sufficient though my brilliance is not, I'll try out the fun of speaking to posterity, with or without the éclat of a proverb.
