Bones and I


Book Description

Excerpt from Bones and I: Or the Skeleton at Home Long ago, visiting iIkmonastery of La Trappe, I wius struck with the very discontented appearance of its inmates. In some of their faces, indeed, I detected no expression whatever, but on none coukl I perceive the sliirhtest jjlcam of satisfaction with their lot. No wonder: few men are of the stuff that makes a good recluse. The human animal is naturally gregarious, like the sohin goose, the buffalo, the monkey, or the mackerel.
