ABOUT IMAGNUS MAXIMUS, A MARVELOUS MEASURER
A tale to remind us that the best things in life are meant to be treasured, not measured.
Magnus Maximus has a walrus mustache, a benign countenance and a preoccupation: measuring and counting. He doodles about his day, counting this and measuring that — petals on a geranium, raisins in a bun, wetness and dryness, nearness and farness — then slapping the tally, jotted on a piece of paper, onto the object of his interest.
