Humility

Well, the title of this week's post has a certain fittingness to it; I finally buckled to the conformists and added links to my blog. It is only fair that I pay some credence to those who have provided me with some small portion of inspiration or happiness, and perhaps, through them, you, too, may find something worthwhile. I reserve, of course, the power to add and remove links at my whim, and to shamelessly pilfer them from other blogs. It's a sign of flattery, after all.


Humility

Praise is poison to the heart
that cannot bear the sweet,
and glory nurses gluttony,
when given it for meat.

Better, then, the blunt critique
to tear the prideful down,
with meekness for audacity,
and thorns for laurel crown.
