Newton once pushed a bodkin behind his own eye, pressing it against the eye socket to observe the strange rings of light and colour produced by pressure. The experiment nearly blinded him, but he was willing to risk his sight to understand the very mechanism of vision.
State of English publishing is absolutely fucked. Impossible to find any new editions of most famous poets , most have been relegated to exist only within 2-3 pages of an anthology
Almost anything pre 1700 that isn’t Shakespeare , Chaucer or Spenser.. unlucky you.
John Flaxman illustrations for Odyssey.. heritage press used to print a nice edition of Popes translation along with these illustrations. Very easy to find on eBay.. can be pricey but well worth it if you like Pope
