Tinkerers

.


A tinkerer is a visionary of a very particular kind.
The world seems entirely full of "visionaries" nowadays; small H hitlers and amateur Gandhis and everything in between. Read the comments section of any major newspaper and feast your eyes on the ready-made, misspelled manifestos people have on hand for the most mundane of topics. But of course, the peasant's idea of how to be Napoleon is strictly between him and anyone that will listen to him. Napoleon's busy. --Sippican Cottage: Tinkerer, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief
