Bookstores Named for Great Authors & Artists

As a followup to the post on bookstores named for famous books, stories, poems, and characters, this post identifies those named after famous authors and artists. This information came from personal knowledge, as well as using google.com and gemini.google.ai

Far and away the most commonly used author’s name for bookstores is “Shakespeare” with five examples. No more than one was found for any other author.

A quotation from Longfellow

Toiling — rejoicing — sorrowing,
   Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begin,
   Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,
   Has earned a night’s repose.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) American poet
“The Village Blacksmith,” st. 7 (1840)

I guess the railroad bridge where the #MidtownGreeway ends instead of crossing the #MississippiRiver is where the #OregonTrail crosses the #WinchellTrail in #Minneapolis along West River Parkway.

You died of fundamental attribution error. It happens to the best of us. No shame in that.

« Hands of invisible spirits touch the strings
Of that mysterious instrument, the soul,
And play the prelude of our fate. »

#SilentSunday #Minneapolis #3rdPrecinct still shuttered more than four years after police murdered George Floyd. The sign says Site cleanup begins spring/summer 2024. Looks like it hasn't started yet, but summer's not over.

From the 1990s to the 2020s, this city has gone from #MurderApolis to #MinneNoPolice.

Perspective

We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.

~ Longfellow

slip:4a945.

Statuary

Sculpture is more divine, and more like nature,
that fashions all her works in high relief,
and that is sculpture. This vast ball, the Earth,
was moulded out of clay, and baked in fire;
Men, women, and all animals that breath
are statues, and not paintings.

~ Longfellow

slip:4a899.

Revelation

It is curious to note the old sea-margins of human thought. Each subsiding century reveals some new mystery; we build where monsters used to hide themselves.

~ Longfellow

#longfellow "A psalm of life"

"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
   Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
   And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest
   And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
   Was not spoken of the soul.

..."
