Tuesday. This from a truly great pen...

- George Eliot, Adam Bede

30/05/2022

20/05/2022

Friday. Well now we know (or maybe not)...

- Virginia Wolfe, To the Lighthouse

Tuesday. From the pen of a true great...
"It is an uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be liberated from a small hungry shivering self - never to be fully possessed by the glory we behold, never to have our consciousness rapturously transformed into the vividness of a thought, the ardor of a passion, the energy of an action, but always to be scholarly and uninspired, ambitious and timid, scrupulous and dim-sighted."
- George Eliot, Middlemarch

07/04/2022

Thursday. An exercise in comprehension...
"There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences."
