Carmina proveniunt animo deducta sereno

[milo]

I agree, absolutely. V difficult to produce anything requiring skill, in a state of semi-hysteria. V unlikely to produce much of interest if one's life has been like a lump of dough. I wish I could quote stuff like that at the drop of a hat!

I would think the Ovid quote should reasonably impress.

Though not entirely antipasto I believe that we all make our own contributions to the maximum of of our ability whether we realise this or not. I am always charmed and encouraged by the maxim (anon) that states:
"If a man has been a herder of goats all his life and you give him LSD he will hallucinate about goats".
Isn't that just the way of it?

How does every discussion always turn to LSD and goats?
