Sir John Suckling was the son of the secretary of state and the nephew of the lord treasurer of England. After an education on the Continent, he gained a reputation as a spendthrift, lothario, and gambler but also as an accomplished poet and playwright. Suckling may have sat for Van Dyck in 1638, the year his tragedy Aglaura was staged. By displaying Shakespeare’s First Folio in his portrait, Suckling took a stance in contemporary debates about the merits of Shakespeare and modern (as opposed to classical) poetry. A similar position is expressed with the line from the Roman satirist Persius inscribed on the boulder to the right of Suckling: NE TE QUÆSIVERIS EXTRA (Do not seek outside yourself).

Under the Frick Museum in New York, is a magnificent bowling alley that can’t be used.

Crafted with care and skill in 1914, with a custom set of balls, the beautiful space features mahogany paneled walls, vaulted ceilings, & red tiled floors.

The lanes are maple and pine and the gravity-driven ball return system is reminiscent of a giant, elegant marble run. But, because the space has only one entrance and exit, it’s not up to fire code and can’t be opened to the public.

just beyond here was the site of one of the largest summer homes ever built on the Massachusetts coast. Henry Clay Frick built Eagle Rock around 1900. His daughter Helen had it torn down in the 1960s. Some of the pieces were moved to the Frick estate in Pittsburgh. The stables, carriage house, garden structures, gates and fences remain. Other Frick relatives built on the property over the years, with less high maintenance designs. Pride's Crossing Massachusetts.
