We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

okay i've come to appreciate seneca for his banger lines but wow already on the FIRST PAGE of his medea???

MEDEA: Bring death on this new wife, death on the father-in-law and the whole royal stock. For the bridegroom I have a worse prayer in store: may he live. May he wander through unknown cities in want, in exile, hated and homeless may he seek out other men's doors, by this time a notorious guest; may he long for me as his wife and—I can make no worse prayer—for children resembling their father and resembling their mother. My revenge is born, already born: I have given birth.

It is of course better to know useless things than to know nothing.

Hope

Penelope S. Minner, 2026, Ganondagan (New York)

Seneca, Turtle Clan

Corn husk, fabric, beads, leather

"Hope is a little girl corn husk doll, who is watching her world around her. She represents the voice for the next generation. The white dress is representative of purity and innocence; the sunflower necklace is a sign of beauty but also happiness and optimism. The outlook of her life is full of possibilities and positive energy, she knows nothing of the turmoil and uncertainty surrounding her at the moment and from the past. The moment of sweetness is how I would like to represent peace and peacefulness. She sits up playing with her moccasins reaching out and fascinated with the simpler things and times."
