Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Michel de Montaigne said
patience Waiting for results: whether patience compounds into the thing that wins, or impatience is how work gets done fast.
Amongst other vices, I mortally hate cruelty, both by nature and judgment, as the very extreme of all vices: nay, with so much tenderness that I cannot see a chicken’s neck pulled off without trouble, and cannot without impatience endure the cry of a hare in my dog’s teeth, though the chase be a violent pleasure.
