Got through 3 of 64 papers tonight. My brain is clearly fried. (Let's be honest, the first one totally fried it, the second two were just sort of there. I'm going to hope that I can pull some serious grading mojo tomorrow and spend the rest of the evening in quiet contemplation of a book. Yesterday's Magic by Pamela Service or My Life in France by Julia Child. I'm just not in the mood for the complexity of American Gods at the moment.

I Cannot Hide What I Am

I must be sad when I have cause and smile
at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait
for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and
tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and
claw no man in his humour...
I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in
his grace, and it better fits my blood to be
disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob
love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to
be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied
but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with
a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I
have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my
mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do
my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and
seek not to alter me.
