A kindred soul

“The thought came over me, am I to spend all the best part of my life in this wretched bondage, forcibly suppressing my rage at the idleness, the apathy and the hyperbolical & most asinine stupidity of these fat-headed oafs and on compulsion assuming an air of kindness, patience & assiduity?”
Charlotte Bronte, on teaching, in her diary for August 1836.

I think I need a trip to Haworth.
Or, if you feel the same, here's an alternative.
