Slow
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"For philology is that venerable art which exacts from its followers one thing above all—to step to one side, to leave themselves spare moments, to grow silent, to become slow—the leisurely art of the goldsmith applied to language: an art which must carry out slow, fine work, and attains nothing if not lento."--The Dawn of Day (1881) by Friedrich Nietzsche |
