Writer's Block: Take Two

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I might not believe in reincarnation as such, but I do believe that all writers live on past death in the things that they've written.

"For Books are not absoltely dead things, but doe contain a potencie of life in them to be as active as that soule whose progeny they are." --John Milton, Areopagitica

Everything you need to know about London...

...as articulated in a medieval manuscript fragment of Tristran and Isolt:

"London is a very noble city; there is none better in Christendom or of any higher worth, of greater renown, or better furnished with well-to-do people. For they much love honour and munificence and bear themselves very gaily. London is the mainstay of England -- there is no need to seek beyond it. At the foot of its wall there flows the Thames, by which merchandise comes from every land where Christian merchants go. Its men are very clever."

I'm willing to support about 90% of this as incontrovertible fact.
