When one loves one¡¯s Art no service seems too hard.

Joe was a man with a genius for art. Delia did things in six octaves(Òô½×) promisingly.

Joe and Delia became in love with one of the other, or each of the other, as you please, and in a short time were married ¨C for (see above), when one loves one¡¯s Art no service seems too hard.

They began housekeeping in a flat. It was a lonesome flat, but they were happy; for they had their Art, and they had each other.

Joe was learning painting in the class of the great Magister ¡ª you know his fame. His fees are high; his lessons are light ¡ª his high¨Clights have brought him fame. Delia was studying under Rosenstock ¡ª you know his reputation as a disturber of the piano keys.

They were mighty happy as long as their money lasted.

After a while Art flagged. Everything going out and nothing coming in, money was lacking to pay Mr. Magister and Rosenstock their prices. When one loves one¡¯s Art no service seems too hard. So, Delia said she must give music lessons to make the ends meet.

For two or three days she went out looking for pupils. One evening she came home overjoyed ¡°Joe, dear,¡± she said, cheerfully, ¡°I¡¯ve a pupil. And, oh, the loveliest people! General ¡ª General Pinkney¡¯s daughter Clementina ¡ª on Seventy-first street.¡±

¡°That¡¯s all right for you, Dele,¡± said Joe, ¡°but how about me? Do you think I¡¯m going to let you work while I play in the regions of high art?¡±

Delia came and hung about his neck.

¡°Joe, dear, you are silly. You must keep on at your studies. It is not as if I had quit my music and gone to work at something else. While I teach I learn. I am always with my music.¡±

¡°All right,¡± said Joe. ¡°But I may sell some of my pictures as well.¡±

The next few weeks, they both busied themselves with their own business and brought back a ten, a five, a two and a one ¡ª all legal tender notes ¡ª and laid them beside each others¡¯ earnings.

One Saturday evening Joe reached home first. He spread his $18 on the table and washed what seemed to be a great deal of dark paint from his hands.

Half an hour later Delia arrived, her right hand tied up in a shapeless bundle of wraps and bandages.

¡°How is this?¡± asked Joe. Delia laughed, but not very joyously. ¡°Clementina,¡± she explained, ¡°insisted upon a Welsh rabbit(Ò»ÖÖÄÌÀÒ) after her lesson. In serving the rabbit she spilled a great lot of it, boiling hot, over my wrist. Nothing serious, dear.¡±

¡°What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Dele?¡±

¡°Five o¡¯clock, I think,¡± said Dele. ¡°The iron ¡ª I mean the rabbit came off the fire about that time.¡±

¡°Sit down here a moment, Dele,¡± said Joe. ¡°What have you been doing for the last few weeks, Dele?¡± he asked.

She braved it for a moment or two with an eye full of love and stubbornness, but at last down went her head and out came the truth and tears.

¡°I couldn¡¯t get any pupils,¡± she wept. ¡°I got a place ironing shirts in that big Twenty-fourth street laundry. A girl in the laundry set down a hot iron on my hand this afternoon. I think I did very well to make up both General Pinkney and Clementina. What made you ever suspect that I wasn¡¯t giving music lessons?¡±

¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± said Joe, ¡°until tonight. And I wouldn¡¯t have then, only I sent up this cotton waste and oil from the engine-room this afternoon for a girl upstairs who had her hand burned with a smoothing-iron. I¡¯ve been firing the engine in that laundry for the last few weeks.¡±

¡°And then you didn¡¯t ¡­¡± said Delia

And then they both looked at each other and laughed, and Joe began:

¡°When one loves one¡¯s Art no service seems ¡­¡±

But Delia stopped him with her hand on his lips. ¡°No,¡± she said ¨C ¡°just ¡®When one loves.¡¯¡±

In June 2013 a five-year-old boy, Toby, was walking home from school thinking about the long summer ahead. Money was tight that year and Toby¡¯s parents had told him they would not be able to afford a holiday.

Instead of dreaming about foreign travel, he had been reading a book, Letter to New Zealand, where the author explains what happens in an envelope¡¯s journey from England to the other side of the world. As they neared their house, Toby asked his mum, Sabine, if he could write a letter to New Zealand. After a few more steps he was struck by an even better idea. ¡°Can I write a letter to every country in the world?¡±

Sabine says she often wonders what would have happened if she had replied differently that day. ¡°It was just one of those typical questions that five-year-olds have,¡± she says. ¡° If he had asked me in the evening when I was tired, I might have refused. But as parents you realize there¡¯s a lot of power in just allowing kids to have a go. Also, it seemed a nice way to do some armchair exploration. So I told him¡± Let¡¯s see how far you get.¡±

The answer was very far indeed. Toby has since written and posted letters to all 193 UN mumber states, as well as numerous other bad-conditioned areas with comforting ones.

To date he has written 681 letters- the best of which have been selected to appear in a new book called Dear World, How Are You?- although so productive is Toby¡¯ pen that the number will have risen by the time you read this.

¡°Writing these letters has made me realize that the world isn¡¯t actually all that big,¡± he says with a grin.

In the future, part of him would like to be a musical director to turn his beloved Star Wars into a ballet. Of course, he also hopes to travel the globe in person to see some of the countries where his letters have ended up.

¡°We¡¯re so lucky to have this wonderful world, and I hope we can live on planet Earth in peace.¡±
