“Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.”

“Some of them said these words over and over until their voices lost all value, like they were nothing but noises coming far off from some foreign city, bouncing through the sea and fog, meaningless across so many latitudes.”

- from The Four Voyages of Gregory Prior

“What Gregory did not understand, and this he also inherited from Cato, is that people are not simply lessons to learn or books to read and if you treat them as such then you will be hard-pressed in the future finding people to treat you as you think you deserve.”

- from The Four Voyages of Gregory Prior

geometrymatters:

“All five stone arrays can be overlapped one upon the other with different comer matchings until a beautiful polyhedron with 121 “great circles” and 4,862 points has been developed. This is the ultimate single sphere pattern which houses all five Platonic solids within multiple orientations. [..]

Plato’s description in the Timaeus of a cosmology based on the five regular volumes (tetrahedron, octahedron, cube, icosahedron, and dodecahedron) echoes Pythagorean teaching regarding the manifestation of the infinite within the finite. Plato postulates a metaphysics in which the four elements of Greek science — earth, air, fire, and water — are associated with four of the five solids.”

kurosawa-akira:

Once into production, work on Ran progressed so smoothly that even Mr. Kurosawa was surprised. In the summer of 1984, just when he was preparing to shoot the great storm scene in which Hidetora (his Lear) rushes deranged into the wilderness, a typhoon struck the shooting location in Kyushu perfectly on schedule. Later Mr. Kurosawa joked, “In Japan, journalists often call me ‘Emperor’ because they think I’m so tyrannical. Well, I guess I can now command even the elements!”

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:44:31 -0400

Walt Whitman’s handwritten poem “As of Forms”. The poem reads:

Their genesis, all genesis,
They lost, all lost — for they include all.
The earth and everything in it.

The wave, the snake, the babe, the landscape, the human head,
Things, faces, reminiscences, presences, conditions, thoughts — tally and make definite
a divine indistinct spiritual delight in the Soul.

Of the arts, as music, poems, architecture, outlines, and the rest,
they are in their way to provoke this delight out of the soul,

They are to seek it where it waits —
for I see that it always patiently waits.

Have you sought the inkling ?
Have you wandered after the meanings of the earth? You need not wander;

Behold those forms.
