"She also believes very strongly that there is more true kindness and
courtesy in accepting gifts gratefully and enthusiastically than in
making them." A.S. Byatt, "Art Work," 1993 (in The Matisse Stories)
Wary of flippantly making positives out of negatives, I shied from
this, now realize no harm was intended indeed! and wish to accept
without impediment, magniloquently, reluctantly and quite
undeservedly, still looking around for someone to whom this might
have been directed more appropriately.
Like they say, on the Internet, no one knows you're a dog. Or what a
likewise embarrassing struggle it is when you ask someone a simple
question on the street and they look at you like you're from Upper
Silesia and make you repeat, when all you said was "Excuse me, could
you please pass the salt."
Hey, thanks Dave!
