STUPIDITY works excellently against the impact of a new idea. [With P. W. Bridgman]

Briefing on Inferior Art

Briefing cat It's best to search for the alternatives to the illusion and temptations, and make that free for all and make no mistakes, of course. [With Joan B. Campbell]

No form of nature is inferior to low art; for not a few arts imitate natural forms. [Also see Marcus Aurelius Antoninus]

As we go away from delicious nature in what we tell and portray, art may suffer very heavy blows.

Sage Words

Tut The value of life is enhanced by having good things and being occupied in some ways and not the others. Painting is one such delight, and from that, paintings. To collect precious stones and make pendants is another. And so on.

Duke William of Normandy captured the better parts of Britain in AD 1066. After that he got intensely occupied in fortifying to keep the good things he had conquered. William had the Tower of London built, and also a complex of forts in a network around it. One of them grew with the centuries to become the Windsor Castle of today. It lies about thirty kilometres from the Tower of London.
