“The free man is immoral, because it is his will to depend upon himself and not upon tradition: in all the primitive states of humanity 'evil' is equivalent to 'individual,' 'free,' 'arbitrary,' 'unaccustomed,' 'unforeseen,' 'incalculable.'“ ~Friedrich Nietzsche, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒂𝒚

Okay, here‘s my complete #christmasbookhaul. Now, I realize the Mussolini book is a bit of a strange one. But I am currently reading Kaputt, set in WWII, and the main character (the author, Malaparte, as this book is written from his experiences) was an Italian reporter, and Il Duce is frequently referenced, and I realized I knew nothing about him. Also, it occurred to me that it would be informative of how a fascist dictator came into power.
This is one of the longest inscriptions I have in a second hand book. There's obviously a story in Caroline's heartfelt poem to the unnamed recipient of what was presumably a gift for Christmas 1972, but tantalisingly I'll never know, though it opens up realms of speculation 🤔💭💔💘

"We often sing lullabies to our children that we ourselves may sleep."
"The song that lies silent in the heart of a mother sings upon the lips of her child."
“Long ago you were a dream in your mother's sleep, and then she awoke to give you birth.”
We took a walk on Formby beach today, and seeing the sand and the foam whipped up by a bracing wind off the Irish Sea inevitably brought to mind Kahlil Gibran's inspirational book of aphorisms. Time for a re-read 📖
I'm not sure if there will be any quotable passages that I *didn't* post here six years ago! We'll see 😏
