Member-only story
It’s the possibility to reach across oceans and centuries to tickle another’s brain so precisely and delicately with a few words as to make them understand and laugh or weep.
Thank you, William Shakespeare, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Rainer Maria Rilke, Shirley Hazzard, and many others.
And thank you, fellow writers for Medium.
