suziefish Posted August 6, 2023 Author Posted August 6, 2023 We hit the library :): regularly :): found this little snippet in a book titled "Serious Noticing": ((laughing ((in tandem)) at those 'tiny black clouds :): " 'A fortune-teller once read my cards and said that if it wasn't for a tiny black cloud hanging over me I could do great things and not only for my country but for all mankind.' " 1 Quote

suziefish Posted August 6, 2023 Author Posted August 6, 2023 yes, as noted above the quote, it's from a book called "Serious Noticing" It's a group of Selected Essays by James Wood another one in there talks about George Orwell and how he may have come to write Nineteen EightyFour (1984) .. apparently it was a response to the abuse of power he noticed as a student at Eton, and his stint in the English Army he had a scholarship to Eton, and the more 'well-to-do' students never let him forget he came from a relatively impoverished background.. all the essays included in the book are thought-provoking.
