Quote of the day

Via James Wolcott:

The cathedrals, with their distant domes, their long aisles and their high groinings, do add stature to human strivings; their chapels do give privacy for prayer. But the bathroom, too, shelters the spirit, it tranquilizes and reassures, in surroundings of a celestial whiteness, where the pipes and the faucets gleam and the mirror makes another liquid surface, which will render you, shaved, rubbed and brushed, a nobler and more winning appearance. (Edmund Wilson, A Piece of My Mind: Reflections at Sixty)

[To the tune of Radiohead, "Reckoner," from the album "In Rainbows".]
