Is it #perfectionism that is acquired or rather some #realism on what human society is that comes with age?

Quoting #Gide [his|mine]:

“Anything new about [the letters|life]?”

“New? New?… What on earth that’s new can happen [between Oscar and me|at all]?”

“[He was|We were all] expecting an explanation.”

“So was I. I was expecting an explanation. All one’s life long one expects explanations.”

Visited Astley Book Farm in Warwickshire today for the first time and absolutely loved it. I don't read as much as I used to, way too much sitting scrolling on my phone! Definitely going to make a change, there's nothing better than being surrounded with books.
