Cyril Winstanley“The full moon filtered through the fabric of the tent like boiling coffee through a sock.”
Joy"I was experimenting to be the woman I wanted to be."
"I was in training to be a woman without shame.”

Another #LiteraryQuote from the same work:
There are no nouns in Tlön's conjectural Ursprache, from which the "present" languages and the dialects are derived: there are impersonal verbs, modified by monosyllabic suffixes (or prefixes) with an adverbial value. For example: there is no word corresponding to the word "moon,", but there is a verb which in English would be "to moon" or "to moonate." "The moon rose above the river" is hlör u fang axaxaxas mlö, or literally: "upward behind the onstreaming it mooned."
Then Bioy Casares recalled that one of the heresiarchs of Uqbar had declared that mirrors and copulation are abominable, because they increase the number or men.

J B Angell - AuthorOne more from today's outing before I sign off for the night. This is an exceprt from a local newspaper from when the library was opened and I absolutely love this quote describing what a library is:
"These are the streets...
Each is an avenue leading whither I will"

Firehorseart Lives!I'll be posting some of my #urbansketch art with explanations from time to time. Let me know if you like it by giving it a re-toot. Thanks!
This image shows the time I became the artist in residence at a local litfest. The sketch in the publicity shows an on location sketch I'd made the previous year of #playwright Bryony Lavery being interviewed by Rosemary Hill.
