‘I wonder sometimes if the teacher is not the real student and beneficiary’ (George Steiner)
In the process of setting up my new desktop PC I came across the wonderful ‘A Book of Sleep’ theme by Il Sung Na, which now graces my desktop. I also discovered this delightful video. Yes, it’s a children’s story, but so what! There’s nothing wrong with being young at heart, is there?
You have to watch this more than once. There’s more going on in this story than at first meets the eye. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the desktop theme is available here.
Again from Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch:
Loneliness is never more cruel than when it is felt in close propinquity with someone who has ceased to communicate.
… lovers who are free to change remain interesting.
.
Security is when everything is settled, when nothing can happen to you; security is the denial of life.
Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch
I love word clouds. They can be very helpful in visualising the use of words in all kinds of texts. This one, created with Tagxedo, illustrates the frequency with which words occur on this blog.
