  3. How frozen I became and powerless then,
    Ask it not, Reader, for I write it not,
    Because all language would be insufficient.

    I did not die, and I alive remained not;
    Think for thyself now, hast thou aught of wit,
    What I became, being of both deprived.

  4. The uneasiness of small town narratives in unfamiliar landscapes

    "But there are negative consequences to this construction of the detective as outsider when the outback setting is presented as something unfamiliar, something to be feared. These arise from the origins of Australian Gothic, which scholars have long recognised as an expression of settler-colonial anxiety about the violent dispossession of the country’s Indigenous people."

  6. A quotation from Emerson

    People wish to be settled; only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them. Life is a series of surprises.

    Essay (1841), “Circles,” Essays: First Series, No. 10

  7. #ErikDavis: "There is a reason that #esoteric things were esoteric throughout the history of #culture and #religion, and it is that they are not for everybody, at least at the stage most people are, trying to just make a living, trying to keep their families together... because a lot of these esoteric practices and experiences, have a kind of #deconstructing quality, they pull the rug out from under you, they show you a multiplicity world, sometimes god is everywhere, and it is pretty groovy, but it can be, in someways, #unsettling."

  12. Aujourd'hui nous sommes réunis pour rendre hommage à l'Ancien, si âgé, si vieux, que son mât a poussé à travers lui, que ses oripeaux ne sont plus que lambeaux de tissus flottants aux quatre vents... Seul son visage reste, nous regardant de haut, certes, mais avec bienveillance.
    Et son chapeau aussi.
    Tout bon épouvantail a besoin d'un bon chapeau.

  13. I will never forgive george santos for the way he has tarnished the good image and reputation of the dress shirt and sweater vest combo. (Mr.Rodgers didn’t deserve this.) Anyway here’s my ’fit !

    This is one of those boring looks that is much more work than you think. I still have not gotten the right shoes. Shoes are so hard, but I’ll figure it out.

  14. So a little #unsettling. Just discovered someone had broken the latches on the bathroom window & balcony door on our cabin, so they won’t lock. We’ve reported to management, & have temporarily fixed, but it is clear this was done on purpose, so posting this to #warn other #travellers to check that the locks work on all doors to your rooms & cabins when #travelling, & if they are not working report the problem and get it fixed right away.
