Thorny Claw's Look

clix .[:]. plix
"Do what we can, summer will have its flies:
If we walk in the woods, we must feed mosquitos:
If we go a-fishing, we must expect a wet coat.
Then climate is a great impediment to idle persons:
We often resolve to give up the care of the weather,
But still we regard the clouds and the rain."
ESSAY VII Prudence (1841)
