Help keep me alive and working! My only income comes from my writing and having adventures; so help keep me going even at 74 and with Parkinson’s.
“Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?”
–Federico Calboli
I've long wondered what Burton's legacy would be if his wife hadn't burned his papers after his death.
I must shamefacedly confess that I had somehow missed this tidbit from Burton, but it is both insightful and typical of the great Victorian polymath.

I wish I had more detailed provenance, Jim. It was in one of my old commonplace books that I occasionally mine for quotes.A possibility is the Lovell bio, which came out that year.
