The Bore

[seminarist]

To the bore life holds no dullness; every subject is of unending delight. A story told for the thousandth time has not lost its thrill; every tiresome detail is held up and turned about as a morsel of delectableness; to him each pea in a pod differs from another with the entrancing variety that artists find in tropical sunsets.
On the other hand, to be bored is a bad habit, and one only too easy to fall into.

Я думал, Честертон. А оказалась Эмили Пост.

При этом как раз к бесконечно разнообразной красоте тропических закатов зануда, как правило, глух и слеп, и считает их отчаянно скучными.
Подтверждаю как частный, но классический образец.
