...blacksmiths called the Gadia Lohars, big, fork-bearded men in pink turbans, women wearing silver bangles and big silver nose rings, and untouchables worshiping the smallpox goddess, Sheetala. Without quite knowing why, they still observe their ancient vow: never do they sleep under a roof, but live in carts, wherein children are born and the old die, in which their beds, or charpais, are always upside down.

Today, many who major in the sciences in order to secure jobs find themselves later placed in administrative positions where their technical skills are almost useless...
...Chardin sees it profoundly and exhausts himself in rendering it as he sees it; his work on The Attributes of the Arts is proof of this. How perfectly the perspective is observed! How the objects reflect each other! How the masses are handled! One can't decide wherein lies the enchantment, because it is everywhere...
