Erik Larson Quotes
We Are Always Personally Under An Agitating Pressure And Cloud Of Anxiety. And Olmsted Himself Had Grown Increasingly Susceptible To Illness. He Was Sixty-eight Years Old And Partly Lame From A Decades-old Carriage Accident That Had Left One Leg An Inch Shorter Than The Other. He Was Prone To Lengthy Bouts Of Depression. His Teeth Hurt. He Had Chronic Insomnia And Facial Neuralgia. A Mysterious Roaring In His Ears At Times Made It Difficult For Him To Attend To Conversation. He Was Still Full Of Creative Steam, Still Constantly On The Move, But Overnight Train Journeys Invariably Laid Him Low. Even In His Own Bed His Nights Often Became Sleepless Horrors Laced With Toothache.
