Overheard at dinner the other night, from a neighboring table filled with stereotypically obnoxious American tourists:
"Who was St. Francis of Assisi?! He was this really famous Franciscan monk."
Tourist Day 1 Recap

Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure less,
Withdraws into its happiness:
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds, and other seas;
Annihilating all that's made
To a green thought in a green shade.

hahahaha. I remember hiding from obnoxious Americans when I lived in London. Literally slouching down in my seat on the tube and preparing to offer a (very, very bad) British accent if asked a question.
I'm so proud.
LMAO!
