From the train ride today

Thursday, cigarette #1

From Conor Cruise O'Brien's The Great Melody: A Thematic Biography of Edmund Burke:
[James] Mill was disposed to talk down to history, and to talk at it, telling it how it should have behaved.
In contrast to Burke's "blend of awe and horror, seeing in it the mysterious and terrible workings of God's Providence."
