Dowbrigade

An excellent column in the Boston
Globe by elegant literary stylist
Donald M. Murray, who writes with penetrating insight and gentle humor
about many things, including the art of growing old. He recently lost
his wife of 50 years, Minnie Mae.

The column ends with this lovely paragraph:

Don’t worry, Minnie Mae, the instruction from Horace,
nulla dies sinelinea [never a day without a line], will remain on my
writing desk, and each
morning when I sit to practice my craft, you will be beside me, correcting
the spelling, pointing out what needs to be cut.

Sounds like that Horace was a natural born blogger. Our sympathies go
out to Mr. Murray. Nulla dies sinelinea, indeed.
