The Monday Morning Memo

Beagle_IndyAnswersAll

This Week’s Question:

Oh Great and Wise Indiana Beagle, Official Spokesdog for Manchego Cheese and
Famous Watchdog of that barely average Wizard of Ads, here is my question:

Which is more important, beauty or charm?
– Kit Carrington

Dear Kit, Oscar Wilde answered this rather well when he was advising men 100 years ago.
Oskie said,

A beauty is someone you notice.
A charmer is someone who notices you.”

He followed that up with another bit of piercing insight:

Women are never disarmed by compliments.
Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.”

Go thou now, and have thou a fine and marvelous day.
Do not fail me in this.
I am Indy.
I have spoken.

Random Quote:

“How far is it from here

To Emily Dickinson’s father’s house in America;

Think of her climbing a spiral stair

Up to the little cupola with its clear

Small panes, its room for one.

Like the dark house below, so full of eyes

In mirrors and of shut-in flies,

This chamber furnished only with the sun

Is she and she alone,

A mood to which she rises, in which she sees

Bird-choristers in all the trees

And a wild shining of the pure unknown

On Amherst…”

- Richard Wilbur, from his 1956 poem "Altitudes," which first describes an elaborate Italian cathedral dome, then recalls the spare cupola which Dickinson's father added to their house.
