For St. Peter’s College (University of Oxford)*

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 6:41 pm

In memory of a Harvard professor who reportedly died on
St. Peter's Day, 2021 (June 29).

"You may be flying through the air
Wrapped up in how high you can go
And no one will be there to bring you down
Just stop — take a look around"

— Patti LaBelle, "Space Children"
(No. 204 on Cara Delevingne's Wall of Sound)

Name That Tune

Filed under: General — m759 @ 12:39 pm

"The ability to imagine is the largest part of what you call intelligence.
You think the ability to imagine is merely a useful step on the way to
solving a problem or making something happen. But imagining it is
what makes it happen. 

This is the gift of your species and this is the danger, because you
do not choose to control your imaginings. You imagine wonderful things
and you imagine terrible things, and you take no responsibility for the
choice. You say you have inside you both the power of good and the
power of evil, the angel and the devil, but in truth you have just one
thing inside you—the ability to imagine."

— Michael Crichton, Sphere

I prefer a different tune . . . Number 117 on  
Cara Delevingne's Wall of Sound (click to enlarge):

Garden Party

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 2:00 am

From the June 22 Architectural Digest  video of
Cara Delevingne's home —

"I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends:
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again.
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name…
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same."

From a June 21 Instagram story —

From Ernest Hemingway's The Garden of Eden

She slipped out of bed and stood straight with her long brown legs
and her beautiful body tanned evenly from the far beach where they
swam without suits. She held her shoulders back and her chin up
and she shook her head so her heavy tawny hair slapped around
her cheeks and then bowed forward so it all fell forward and covered
her face. She pulled the striped shirt over her head and then shook
her hair back and then sat in the chair in front of the mirror on the
dresser and brushed it back looking at it critically. It fell to the top of
her shoulders. She shook her head at the mirror. Then she pulled on
her slacks and belted them and put on her faded blue rope-soled shoes.

"I have to ride up to Aigues Mortes," she said.

"Good," he said. "I'll come too."

"No. I have to go alone. It's about the surprise."
