America is a land where men govern, but women rule. Among the Round Tablers at the Algonquin Hotel, Sherwood stood out like a grandfather's clock. The tick of his talk was measured, his words seeming to be spaced by minutes, but when he chimed he struck gaily. Charm is a glow within a woman that casts a most becoming light on others. How prophetic L'Enfant was when he laid out Washington as a city that goes around in circles! No man, with a man's heart in him gets far on his way without some bitter, soul-searching disappointment. Happy is he who is brave enough to push on to another stage of the journey. No one is worthy of a good home here or in heaven that is not willing to be in peril for a good cause. The comic book is the marijuana of the nursery, the bane of the bassinet, the horror of the home, the curse of the kids and a threat to the future. The critic is a man who prefers the indolence of opinion to the trials of action. The more I observed Washington, the more frequently I visited it, and the more people I interviewed there, the more I understood how prophetic L'Enfant was when he laid it out as a city that goes around in circles. The only true happiness cones from squandering ourselves for a purpose. |
