John Halle: Consultation

When thou arte callde at anye time,A patient to see:And dost perceave the cure to grate,And ponderous for thee:• See that thou laye disdeyne aside,And pryde of thyne own skyll:And think no shame counsell to take,But rather wyth good wyll•

John Halle: Consultation cont.

Get one or two of experte men,To helpe thee in that neede;To make them partakers wyth theeIn that work to procede

…..from John Halle [1520 – 1568]An historical expostulation: necessarye to be marked and followed, of all true chirurgiens

• The Pathography blog, established in 2008, is a repository for these stories.

Basho on The Narrow Road

The days and months are travelers of eternity. So too are the years that come and go. For those who passed their lives afloat on boats or faced old age…their journey is life, their journey is home and many are the men of old who met their end upon the road.
