I hit ‘like’ on this but it really deserves higher praise, so I’m reblogging. Jamie Dyson (go follow his blog, you won’t regret it) absolutely nails it with this post about the existential fear that nags away at all us speccy-4-eyes folk when we grope for our gig lamps first thing in the morning.
So, this really spoke to me; I’m very long-sighted and can’t read anything without my specs. That scares me so much when I think about it that I stop thinking about it… I’m reminded of the time in The Name of the Rose when William of Baskerville’s primitive glasses that he relies on to read with, are stolen. I cannot imagine life without reading.
