That is actually exactly the kind of writing I've been looking for recently. I was reading The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard and was really interested in a chapter where he talks about how human being can devote himself to "things" and make them his own by perfecting their beauty. A little more beautiful and we have something quite different. I think this is a really important concept when we are wondering what on earth we can do and where our place is sometimes. Someone was telling me they had read something similar, an essay on virtue maybe by Woolf but we can't find it. I hope you're well. Thank you so much for the lovely quote, it's made my morning.
