Agnon, Shmuel Yosef Our sages of blessed memory have said that we must not enjoy any pleasure in this world without reciting a blessing. If we eat any food, or drink any beverage, we must recite a blessing over them before and after. If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a blessing over the pleasure. The same applies to pleasures of the sight. And the same applies to pleasures of the ear. People's talk and the stories they tell have been engraved on my heart, and some of them have flown into my pen. I am very small indeed in my own eyes. If I am proud of anything, it is that I have been granted the privilege of living in the land which God promised our forefathers to give us, as it is written. Our days on earth are like a shadow, and the time of our affliction is the length of our days. I am generally ashamed to walk out in new clothes. And why am I ashamed? Is it because I don't want to embarrass the others who don't have new things? Or perhaps because a new coat makes you stand out, and you seem to be clothes and nothing else. A home from which you can be ejected at any time is no true home.
