"The lives of many inen and women are passed in u,
successionof pettyanxietiesabout themselves, andgleaning
of minute interestsand mean pleasures in their immediate
circle, because they are never taught to make any effortto
live beyond it; or to know anything of the wonderful
world in which their lives are lived." Ruskin.
