As far as I'm concerned, I should be listening to loud music at the moment and pelting out lyrics at the top of my voice.
Although for various reasons beyond my control I find myself in a situation where I am unable to do so.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?Eliot

Washing dishes.
I am supposed to clean the house.
Be great in act, as you have been in thought.

I should be gardening now but for some specific reasons I am on the net posting this. Of course today when I have planned to take care of my plants which were neglected for a long time in fact. I should be changing the soils of the vases and manuring them. As the fall is over the plants need more fuels for budding and flowering. I am a lover of plants and I had since my babyhood always loved them but for a variety of reasons, of course one of the reasons is my growing obsessions with books and writing or else I could have been a great gardener. I grew up in close proximity with nature and grew up in an open environment with them but in due course I moved to a new place and with that everything was over. Of course I am now no more in touch with nature and of course nature has of course great effects on what I do in life.
Therefore had there been everything as I have planned I should have been working in the garden.
