Life aphorisms and health reflections from history
A collection of life maxim excerpts discussing personal responsibility, health, happiness, and longevity. It cites optimistic ideals about self improvement, warns against alcohol as a happiness disruptor, and notes statistics on childhood mortality and average lifespans. The piece blends moral guidance with speculative science about age.
Musings on propriety and manners in witty verse
Cordelia speaks in a liquid voice about highballs and silence. A color blind man cannot tell a white lie from a black one. A woman ready for a fresh start declares there's no use talking. The piece questions philosophy, marriage, and a strong minded wife resisting temptation.
