"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
I always hope, when someone restores an antique like this, that some young person will see the restored object and think to themselves: those old people were pretty ingenious after all, and what else did they know or do? It's an education they don't get from books or lectures, and I like to believe it gets them thinking independently.
