Sleep on your writing; take a walk over it; scrutinize it of a morning; review it of an afternoon; digest it after a meal; let it sleep in your drawer a twelvemonth; never venture a whisper about it to your friend, if he be an author especially.
Amos Bronson AlcottTime ripens the substance of a life as the seasons mellow and perfect its fruits. The best apples fall latest and keep longest.
