[hometext] => There is a much higher character from that of a wit or a poet or a savant, which is that of a rational sociable being, willing to carry on the commerce of life with all the sweetness and condescension, decency and virtue will permit. ~Elizabeth Montagu
[bodytext] => Don’t love me for all my giftings and elaborate song. Why exalt beauty with it’s’ absorbent cost and throng? Everyone knows the deep feeling of wholeness at a park; Bathing in the light of the sun, relaxed, observing a fair lark. Great minds once thought retarded, now they‘re geniuses today. Wondrous things are with characters impaired; jewels they say. Savants, who see the world as it is, bypass limited mindsets. Eccentric, perhaps, and yet these geniuses have no regrets.
