BOOK TWO

DOWN TO EARTH

Reading through this book of mine, and subsequent ones of the same kind, I see that my approach has the merit of being highly unoriginal. This is a great asset for me. I need never go out of fashion. For I have never been in the fashion. I am always with it. I came upon the following only a few days ago by John de Dondis, a fourteenth-century sage, who after declaring that he was disinclined to attach too much importance to wholly explicable relationships, added:

I have learned from long experience that there is nothing that is not marvellous and that the saying of Aristotle is true – that in every natural phenomenon there is something wonderful, nay, in truth, many wonders. We are born and placed among wonders and surrounded by them, so that to whatever object the eye first turns, the same is wonderful and full of wonders, if only we will examine it for a while.

John SteWart ColliS, 1973
