Quotation of the Day for May 18, 2017



"Had 3rd swim today in dulcet water. On emerging one quarter of upper stumps & appertaining Rialto fell to the sands. Makes speech and mastication night [for nigh] to impossible. But drink and silence unimpaired."

- Samuel Beckett, in a letter recounting the loss of his dentures while on vacation in Tunisia.
