"So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

[Journal of Art in Society @artinsociety]

Just over 100 years ago, Jacques Lartigue photographed his partner ‘Bibi’ (Madeleine Messager), quietly reading in a sunlit corner at the Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, Cap d’Antibes. She lives on reading here forever... (1920)

Fountains Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery near Ripon in North Yorkshire.

It was founded in 1132 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Also Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli, wherein we hear an exultant "Filio-QUE-E-E-E."

[Dr Francis Young @DrFrancisYoung]

Listening to a c17th Polish mass that really lingers on the word ‘Filioque’ in the Creed in much the same way Byrd repeats ‘Catholicam’ in his Mass for Four Voices 😂

@SketchesbyBoze I grew up in public schools in NYC. We learned some British history -- perhaps not in depth, but 1066, Tudors/Elizabeth, Parliament, explorers, scientists, literature - it's our heritage too.

@AuthorGFAllen Middlemarch. George Eliot.

@SketchesbyBoze My absolute favorite novel. I used to copy out sentences as I was reading, just to hold on to them.

@latinedisce To me there is a real difference in meaning between "Dixit Deus Fiat lux" and "Iussit Deus ut exstiteret lux." These don't strike me as equivalent translations and would lead me to seek out the original language for clarity.

@_stroak @LMSChairman I wanted to learn Latin to read Augustine and the Vulgate. My plan was to start from scratch with Eccl. Latin, until I realized that Augustine and Jerome themselves learned from Classical authors. So I happily started with Virgil and Caesar and Cicero.

@TheCinesthetic For costume drama lovers, a great show not often mentioned: Gentleman Jack - great scripts, cast, acting, and production values.

@moviegoery Angela would like a word from 1966

@PulpLibrarian Dragonwyck by Anya Seton! Surprised she wasn't mentioned -- but of course you can't mention them all! Great post!

No G.B. Shaw?

Once I started listing 20th Century Literary Critics worth reading, I realized there were way more than a dozen. Anyway, here’s my (unranked) list. Some aren’t especially known for their literary criticism (e.g. Joan Didion), but are great critics regardless.

[Tenedos @Ferarum]

This is great, thanks!

I hope this helps you as it has helped me:

"Miss Brooke had that kind of beauty which seems to be thrown into relief by poor dress." Middlemarch, George Eliot. I read that opening line and immediately took the book home to read the rest.

What is your favorite opening line of a book? ✍️
