Below my window goes the cattle train, And stands for hours along the river park, Fear, Cold, Exhaustion, Hunger, Thirst and Pain; Dumb brutes we call them - Hark!

relaxation, for when you come back to your work your
judgment will be surer; since to remain constantly at work
will cause you to lose power of judgment.... Go some distance away, because the work appears smaller, and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seen." -Leonardo da Vinci |
