RE: 🌵 Cactus Bookends :: Journeying From San Pedro to Peyote 🌵
FYI: Lin Yutang (quoted above) was a renowned Chinese writer, translator, linguist, and lexicographer who also invented a system of romanizing Chinese that distinguishes word tones by their spellings, Gwoyeu Romatzyh.
Thanks for that fun fact, @stevenlytle! I hadn't heard of Lin Yutang before seeing his name in that coloring book. It seems the content of his work focused on removing non-essentials, which strongly appeals to me. His innovation of the Chinese language is IMPRESSIVE.
