SNOW; SUCCESS; BARBARIANS

Self-Savagery no 1040: Don't pay attention to your ambitious drives. Don't even ignore them. Remember: Winning is only important on the battlefield and in the operating theatre. 'Success is the one unpardonable sin against our fellows'- Bierce; 'To be popular one must be a mediocrity'- Wilde.
I can't wait for success. So I'm going ahead without it.

Snow: An opportunity for everyone to stay at home for a day. A chance to look out of the window, have a snowball fight, make soup, anything; most of all, an opportunity to stop. And daydream. From such idle days, great comfort and genius can spring. What an opportunity.
London, England!

But do we take this chance? Not likely. Barbarians, the lot of us.
