suziefish Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share 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.'

suziefish Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share 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.
