The lady and the unicorn

I don't, despite my liking to read the posts shared by friends on Facebook, re-post stuff. An unjustified intellectual arrogance of preferring originals, you may say. And you are right, for like all haughty positions, this one must fall. So, as a first, I'd repost an incredibly insightful account of what goes on in minds of kids when exposed to matters of historical significance

"We visited Disraeli's manor today. S said why are we doing it when he is dead. She then asked me how did he find the time to write books if he was the PM (x2) and Finance minister (x3). There was a photo of Margaret Thatcher. S asked me if that was not the actress. We also looked at the handwritten first page of Sybil. T said he couldn't make out the handwriting. So I grabbed the published book and looked at the first page and then we deciphered Disraeli's handwriting. S and I then confirmed he did find the time to write books. Nachu was to be found at that time. When we told her about it she said we shouldn't bothered as she may have already read Sybil!"

My friend, L, is one of the smartest persons I know and would have had non trivial conversations with Disraeli. and his kids are very much of his same bent: always questioning and maybe they will one day chart new pathways forward for our countries.
