I am a bath mystic. You can also be one. Read this and decide if bath mysticism intrigues you.
First, you need a bathtub. I recommend one with lion’s-claw legs, or eagle’s-claw. Old bathtubs are best. The more baths taken in a bathtub, the deeper and prouder its “bath memory.” New bathtubs are mostly inhospitable to bathing. They are composed of plastic, and the sides are uncomfortable to lean against. Today’s bathtubs are built to stand in while showering.
America is the hardest-working industrial nation. We make the Germans look like a nation of hobos. Inhabitants of the U.S.A. awaken early, drink a cup of coffee, work all day, then return home and mow their lawns.
