Wooden box with a three dimensional woodland scene inside, at night, with trees and a rabbit sitting on mossy ground under a full moon in a dark sky

Contemplating the likely end of a friendship that never really began: the kind of relationship where you never feel a deep attachment, just a kind of vague tolerance for the other person. The issues we had were minor, and not even worth discussing, but they were enough to make me keep my distance.

Happy November. In the Labours of the Months it is often time to fatten up the pigs. The swineherd takes them out into the woods and knocks down acorns for them to eat. (Image Trin MS B.11.31 f11r)

Medieval painting from a Book of Hours. Two pigs are under an oak tree looking at acorns on the ground. A man holds a long stick and strikes at the tree which is not much taller than he is.

Apropos of [the former Prince] Andrew's disgrace and the Epstein situation in general:

But, Lord! to see what a young simple fantastique coxcombe is made Deputy Governor, would make one mad; and how he called out for his night-gown of silk, only to make a show to us.

Recommendation: Sarah Caudwell's Hilary Tamar mysteries, starting with THUS WAS ADONIS MURDERED (1981). Delightfully erudite, witty, twisty, and full of joyful energy. Sadly, the author herself died in 2000 at the age of 60, ending the series at only four books.

A partial view of a stone circle late on a spring day, with a blue sky above and golden light across the landscape. The grass around the stones is mown short and there are Lake District fells in the background.

Think it’s funny that Henry James begrudged Emerson’s walking too quickly through the Louvre and then used that as a frame of reference for critiquing Emerson as a thinker. Just imagining James panting, whispering “slow down goddammit”

A very sad little story in one sentence.

Samuel Pepys @samuelpepys.bsky.social · 7d

I met with Mr. Mills, who tells me that he could get nothing out of the maid hard by (that did poyson herself) before she died, but that she did it because she did not like herself, nor had not liked herself, nor anything she did a great while.
