What we want is an honest, downright and quite personal articulation, as to how these great things in literature really hit us when they find us for the moment natural and off our guard — when they find us as men and women, and not as ethical gramaphones.

#OnThisDay in 1961, the Antarctic Treaty came into force. Signed in 1959 by 12 nations active during the IGY (1957–58), it now has 58 Parties.
The Treaty ensures Antarctica is used for peaceful purposes only, with freedom of scientific research and open sharing of results.
