As a devoted reader, I have understood for quite some time that it is far easier to understand my own big or small mishaps after I have read about the turmoils and stories of others.

When You Are Young
“When you are young you take the kindness people show you as your right.”
– W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965)

The Hand of Ethelberta
“I have seldom known a man cunning with his brush who was not simple with his tongue; or, indeed, any skill in particular that was not allied to general stupidity.”
– from The Hand of Ethelberta (1876) by Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy is one of my favorite Victorian writers, mostly due to the magic depiction of the fictitious Wessex county and Egdon Heath in The Return Of The Native.
Thomas Hardy’s Wessex is the fictional literary landscape as the setting for his major novels, located in the south and southwest of England. Hardy named the area “Wessex” after the medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom that existed in this part of that country prior to the unification of England by Æthelstan. Although the places that appear in his novels actually exist, in many cases he gave the place a fictional name.

Changes
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them—that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward however they like.” — Lao Tzu.
Art – Wayne Thiebaud
Simplicity
Simplicity is the character of the spring of life, costliness becomes its autumn; but a neatness and purity, like that of the snow-drop or lily of the valley, is the peculiar fascination of beauty, to which it lends enchantment, and gives what amiability is to the mind.
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Art – Lily of the Valley, South Parlour by Winifred Nicholson (1950)

Twenty Years Later

Write
“When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art.’ I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing.”
–George Orwell, Why I Write (1946)
Art – Liz Haywood-Sullivan – That Special Evening, 2019.
