United States President Ulysses S. Grant was as born #OTD 200 years ago on April 27, 1822.

The Grant Memorial (above)—on the west side of the US Capitol Building—was dedicated 100 years ago on his 100th birthday. The Memorial was created by sculptor Henry Merwin Shrady with the assistance of Edmond Amateis and architect Edward Pearce Casey.

“The Receptacle is accordingly the bearer (but not the begetter) of all that occurs in the sensible world. It bears up (under) all that is located in (elemental) regions and (particular) places, thereby ‘providing a situation for all things that come into being.’ But despite its considerable locatory power, the Receptacle remains the referent of a bare cosmological ‘this.’ There is, after all, no Form of Space. A strange beast. A half-bred hybrid, this Receptacle.”

To be at all - to exist in any way - is to be somewhere, and to be somewhere is to be in some kind of place. Place is a requisite as the air we breathe, the ground on which we stand, the bodies we have. We are surrounded by places.

Everything belongs to some matrix of memory, even if it is a matrix which is remote from human concerns and interests.
