We ran Behind the backs of houses, crossed a street Of blinding windscreens, smelt the fish-dock; thence The river’s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefloatinglibrary.com&#038;blog=3969920&#038;post=7137&#038;subd=benprice&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Enlightenment is man&#8217;s emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one&#8217;s own understanding without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude! Have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefloatinglibrary.com&#038;blog=3969920&#038;post=7134&#038;subd=benprice&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Parents, in my opinion, have to be finessed, thought around, even as we love them: They are so colossally wrong about so many important things. And even when they are not, paradoxically, even when they are 100 percent right, the imperative remains the same: To live an &#8220;adult&#8221; life, a meaningful life, it is necessary, I would argue, to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefloatinglibrary.com&#038;blog=3969920&#038;post=7130&#038;subd=benprice&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Talking in bed ought to be easiest, Lying together there goes back so far, An emblem of two people being honest. Yet more and more time passes silently. Outside, the wind&#8217;s incomplete unrest Builds and disperses clouds about the sky, And dark towns heap up on the horizon. None of this cares for us.

		<description><![CDATA[By Leonard Cassuto wsj We remember Theodore Dreiser mainly for his deeply felt tales of have-nots who yearn for much more than the world gives them. In &#8220;An American Tragedy,&#8221; his 1925 masterpiece, a young man&#8217;s longing for money and social standing leads him to the electric chair. But Mr. Dreiser also wrote admiringly of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefloatinglibrary.com&#038;blog=3969920&#038;post=7124&#038;subd=benprice&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

With the possible exception of, &#8220;Honey, I&#8217;m in love with your youngest sister.&#8221; In our super-positive society, we have a zero-tolerance policy for negativity.
