Radnóti Miklós: November
Megjött a fagy, siklik a ház falán, a holtak foga koccan. Hallani. S zizegnek fönn a száraz, barna fán vadmirtuszok kis ősz bozontjai. Egy kuvik jóslatát hullatja rám; félek? Nem is félek talán.

Georges Braque 1955
adronitis
n. frustration with how long it takes to get to know someone—spending the first few weeks chatting in their psychological entryway, with each subsequent conversation like entering a different anteroom, each a little closer to the center of the house—wishing instead that you could start there and work your way out, exchanging your deepest secrets first, before easing into casualness, until you’ve built up enough mystery over the years to ask them where they’re from, and what they do for a living.
Vincenzo Scamozzi - Vitruvian Man, “L'Idea dell'Architettura Universale” (The Idea of Universal Architecture), 1615. Throughout the course of human history, the concept of Proportions has been applied across civilisations. The knowledge of Sacred Geometry, and the Golden Ratio in particular, was considered highly advanced and closely linked to secretive Spiritual Wisdom and religious traditions. In the West, the knowledge of Sacred Geometry was intentionally guarded for hundreds of years and may have been purposefully forgotten or discarded. This illustration aims to initiate a contemporary dialogue surrounding the lost knowledge of Proportions and Sacred Geometry, and shows how Proportions can inform the essential design of life in the present and how we may use this knowledge to create a blueprint for the future.

Source article. Where words came from.
books are so beautiful; each page tells a story, literally and figuratively. the bent corners and loose pages, the stains and waviness of pages once wet; they’re all indications as to what type of people have read the book. they tell us where the book has been and let us simply imagine what it was doing there. the words tell a story too obviously, but i often wonder how that’s the only story people pay attention to.
Plank Piece, 1973 Charles Ray
“Ray was part of a wave of artists during the 1970s who addressed sculpture as an activity rather than as an object. In the iconic two-part photographic work Plank Piece the artist documents the use of his own body as the sculptural component. The static photograph belies the performative nature of the activity presented. Contrived through a complex balance between weight and gravity the artist suspended his body using only a plank of wood, creating a minimal, graphic image that is at once humorous and unsettling.”
Mark Rothko
