Read the poets, improve a piece of land, play with the baby, learn golf.

That's the happy and philosophic and fortunate life in these times of world-madness.
As for the continent of Europe--forget it.

We have paid far too much attention to it.

It has ceased to be worth it.

And now it's of far less value to us--and will be for the rest of your life--than it has ever been before.
