Quotation of the Day for May 2, 2015The work of the world is common as mud. Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust. But the thing worth doing well done has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident. Greek amphoras for wine or oil, Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums but you know they were made to be used. The pitcher cries for water to carry and a person for work that is real. - Marge Piercy, from the poem To be of use. Submitted by: Rob Wood Apr. 29, 2015  |
