“Do not let a flattering woman coax and wheedle you and deceive you; she is after your barn.”
Hesiod, Greek poet
Hesiod was a poet but he was also a philosopher and farmer. I get the impression from his work that he didn’t think much of women. Fine by me. I just want his barn!
It’s a picturesque scene from somewhere in Ohio’s Amish Country last fall. I didn’t love it there but there were some bright moments including a peaceful drive in the country and just sightseeing.
This farm was a favorite, possibly because I liked how the vibrant blues and greens accentuate the wood barn.
Greek poet Hesiod is alleged to have said “Do not let a flattering woman coax and wheedle you and deceive you; she is after your barn.”
I don’t know if he really said this but it made me laugh and it sounds pretty accurate to me. I do like a good barn!
