T.S. Eliot characterizes modern life as having neither plentitude nor vacancy, and goes on to say that our lives are distracted from distraction by distraction. The truth is that the world is perennially too much with us. We re always in danger of getting and spending and giving our hearts away, of trading our glimpses of Proteus rising from the sea for glimpses of the latest social-media craze. We have grown so used to our distractions that we have nearly forgotten what leisure is, that divine and gratuitous part of human existence that ennobles life and causes us to pause and reflect, pray and praise, fast as well as feast.

Devin O Donnell was born and raised on the foggy coasts of central California. The spell of antiquity came upon him early, and he was enamored of old things from his boyhood. But his education in the public schools almost drove it out of him. He cut his pedagogical teeth teaching literature and Latin to high school students in 2004. A few years later, he and his wife joined some crazy families and founded a classical Christian school. Having spent over 15 years in the classroom, he is now the headmaster of St. Abraham s Classical Christian Academy located in Santa Cruz, California. He holds an MA in the humanities. In 2015 he served as research editor for the Bible publishing project Bibliotheca. His fiction has been published in journals and anthologies, and he has written for the CiRCE Institute and Classis. His love for beauty, music, and bookish things is matched by his love for surfing, oceanic landscapes, and English Premier League soccer. He married up, and he and his wife have 4 adventurous children who love stories, the ocean, and good feasts.
