A quotation from Horace

Fortune nor home not more the man can cheer,
Who lives a prey to covetise or fear,
Than may a picture’s richest hues delight
Eyes that with dropping rheum are thick of sight,
Or warm soft lotions soothe a gout-racked foot,
Or aching ears be charmed by twangling lute.
On minds unquiet joy has lost its power;
In a foul vessel everything turns sour.

[Qui cupit aut metuit, iuvat ilium sic domus et res,
Ut lippum pictae tabulae, fomenta podagrum,
Auriculas citbarae collecta sorde dolentes.
Sincerumst nisi vas, quodcumque infundis acescit
Sperne voluptate.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 2 “To Lollius,” l. 51ff (1.2.51-54) (14 BC) [tr. Martin (1881)]

The uneasiness of small town narratives in unfamiliar landscapes

"But there are negative consequences to this construction of the detective as outsider when the outback setting is presented as something unfamiliar, something to be feared. These arise from the origins of Australian Gothic, which scholars have long recognised as an expression of settler-colonial anxiety about the violent dispossession of the country’s Indigenous people."

Why Jane Harper’s ‘outback noir’ novels make for comfortable – and uncomfortable – reading

Jane Harper’s novels do not include any significant First Nations characters or perspectives. Nor do they acknowledge the deeper meaning and consequence of their Gothic conventions.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a lot of doom and gloom as of late? I don’t read the news all that much anymore but I can still sense it. It feels as if oppression is on the horizon. #unease

Politics from the pulpit is alive and well in North Dakota church

A Bismarck church with deep political ties, where many congregants have leftover concerns about extreme politics, is emblematic of a trend among American evangelicals toward Christian nationalism

I enjoy how this #creepypasta story is just as much about the narrator's development as it is about any phenomena or physical reactions and sensations. (Also see MR James) To me, the best stories---horror or otherwise---show character change in response to experience. I also like this story because it is grounded in some historic truth or actual local legend, which is not necessary of course, but here, it lends itself well to a creation of #unease. #horror #audiostory
