The Essays of Francis Bacon

Review:

An enlightening book for the 21st century.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

A collection of little short essays about how people think and operate.

A hard read due to the archaic language, like Shakespeare without the rhyme and meter.

On kings, on love, on rumors, on youth, on old age, on gardening. It’s got a lot to say on a lot of things.

This book made me want to: build a formal garden, tear a bodice, possibly fondle a wench
