Silver Swan Automaton… no motors, built in 1773 and still working perfectly. The Silver Swan is powered entirely by mainsprings and brass clockwork gears. Why did we stop creating such elegant engineering and beautiful pieces of art… timeless and built to last? Joseph Merlin also invented the roller skate 1760. To show them off, he skated into a fancy London ballroom while playing the violin. He sped out of control and crashed straight into a massive, mirror, destroying the violin and injuring himself.

John Singer Sargent, ‘Gassed’ and ‘Six Studies for Gassed’ (1918)

[robertwire]

In Gassed there is little suffering. Or rather, what suffering there is is outweighed by the painting’s compassion. In spite of the vomiting figure the scene has almost nothing in common with Owen’s vision of the gas victim whose blood comes ‘gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs’. What Sargent has depicted, instead, is the solace of the blind: the comfort of putting your trust in someone, of being safely led.

"In the future no man will slay his fellow, the earth will be radiant, the human race will love. It will come, citizens, that day when all shall be concord, harmony, light, joy, and life; it will come, and it is so that it may come that we are going to die.” (Les Misèrables 4.12.8, Victor Hugo, trans. Hapgood) 4.12.8)
