"Just an instant more. I find it ludicrous and disgraceful that my hands should tremble so - but I can neither stop nor hide it, and, yes, they tremble and that's all. My papers you will destroy, the rubbish you will sweep out, the moth will fly away at night through the broken window, so that nothing of me will remain within these four walls which are already about to crumble. But now dust and oblivion are nothing to me; I feel only one thing - fear, fear, shameful, futile fear..." Actually Cincinnatus did not say all this; he was silently changing his shoes.

TE in the style of a monumental brass rubbing

Extremely enjoyable project, I really enjoy taking three dimensional objects and expressing then in as few clean lines as possible (it's the background in archaeological illustration I think) and monumental brasses (and imitations brasses in my case) do that well. And it's big! Almost two feet tall, I love big art! (I am also tempted to do a later RAF version but I have some other stuff to work on first)

(I'm also currently attempting to Post On Instagram again, we'll see how long it lasts)

British officers entering Jerusalem in 1917 through the Jaffa gate. T.E. Lawrence easy to spot.

Looked at the Carchemish excarvation reports in the University Library. As they are so fragile you were not allowed to borrow them, one can only peruse them in the reading room (no scanning or photocopying allowed, I just took a few sneaky photographs).

Princess Diana & Prince Charles attend the London film premiere of Amadeus, on Shaftesbury Avenue. (x)

(January 16, 1985)

Amadeus was from the start an overwhelming success. It was my first film premiere as a participant and it was a peculiarly glittering one. Leicester Square was filled with roaring crowds, and Princess Diana, on one of her first outings as Prince Charles’s new bride, made her way nervously down the line. "Oh, I like you," she said to me, with relief. "You make me laugh." Then to Tom, who was standing next to me, she said, "You were marvellous. Where on earth did they find you?" "Oh, I was just sort of hanging around in Hollywood," he said.

for anyone who wants them: i made english subtitles for the film Моцарт и Сальери/Mozart and Salieri (1962), the film version of rimsky-korsakov's 1897 opera based on alexander pushkin's 1830 play. i don't believe any other english subs exist online, so i put them together using this translation of the play :)
