gentle folk

in a bit of crossover between my discipline and yours...i found an illuminated page from Gaston Phoebus' Livre de Chasse that shows a dinner service being done, and the interesting thing that i'd like to share with you is the vessels in the water... considering that Gaston lived in Foix near the Alps, --period refrigeration???!

Do all the good you can, 
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can, 
In all the places you can, 
At all the times you can, 
To all the people you can, 
As long as you ever can.
--attributed to Joseph (John) Wesley 1735
