ABSTRACT

I am writing, in these pages, a commonplace book. This involves copying down, into windows, on a desktop, a number of extracts. These I compile, in no particular order—for example, this, already apparently transcribed in memory somewhere, in earliest childhood, so as even to make Its transcription here unnecessary, the advice of a girl in an animated film who later wears slippers of glass: “A dream Is a wish your heart makes.” 1
