Daily Dose


From On the Black Hill, by Bruce Chatwin

HIS HAND

"He tried his hand at writing a novel about his wartime experiences.  The strain of composition tired him: after twenty minutes of left-handed scribbling, he would be staring out of the window -- at the lawn, the rain and the hill.  He longed to live in a tropical country and he longed for a tumbler of whisky."

From Chapter XXVI
