Lovely to see we have spaces where you can gain access to so much literature!
The Library Is a Magical Place and You Should Fucking Go There

Ingram, John Henry, Flora Symbolica: The language and sentiment of flowers, (London: 1869).
When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder. Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much. A calendar that showed the wrong month. I could have cried over it. I did. Where the smoke from a chimney ended. How an overturned bottle rested at the edge of a table. I spent my life learning to feel less. Every day I felt less. Is that growing old? Or is it something worse? You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.
— Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated (Houghton Mifflin,, April 16 2002)

Jacob Lawrence, Street Shadows, 1959. Egg tempera on board.
Jacob Lawrence (1917–2000) was one of the most celebrated African American artists to date. While living in New York, he studied at the Art Students League and at Studio 306 in Harlem and worked under the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Although abstract paintings were in vogue at the time, Lawrence maintained a dedication to creating representational paintings. In Street Shadows, Lawrence depicts a busy urban block. The scene is filled with stylized figures and buildings as well as planes of light and shadow.
