The blog description quote is from a book I've never read, but the lines themselves have been with me for a few years. My wife [at the time] had come across the book while antiquing, opened it to a random page, and saw these words. She felt they applied to me pretty directly and immediately purchased the old tome, making it a gift later that day. I wish I'd kept it after the eventual disintegration of the nuptial covenant.
I suppose I believe them to apply directly as well... I've used the quote a number of times when asked for some sort of self-description. I appreciate the fact that this person, whoever it describes, seems to have a combination of whimsy and intensity but never seems to feel comfortable, always looking for something but never quite knowing what it is. A damned frustrating walk to immortality, this is.
I should probably read a copy of the book at some point.
