I have gone beyond clutter to mess. If I think about it, it depresses me, so I don’t think about it. It gets really bad when I am unwell, yet still seems overwhelming when I get better.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
