Looking glass

"Where the noise came from, she couldn't make out: the air seemed full of it, and it rang through and through her head till she felt quite deafened."




Light Green: C37H37N2O9S3+
The dye is not very durable—it has a tendency to fade

single exception



Time is nothing else than the form of the internal sense, that is, of the intuitions of self and of our internal state. For time cannot be any determination of outward phenomena. It has to do neither with shape nor position; on the contrary, it determines the relation of representations in our internal state. And precisely because this internal intuition presents to us no shape or form, we endeavour to supply this want by analogies, and represent the course of time by a line progressing to infinity, the content of which constitutes a series which is only of one dimension ...

offended consciousness


From the psychological point of view the offended consciousness
will display a great variety of nuances within the more active and the more passive forms.

François Villon (XVe siècle) - Ballade du concours de Blois

Je meurs de seuf aupres de la fontaine,
Chault comme feu et tremble dent a dent;
En mon pays suis en terre loingtaine,
Lez ung brasier frissonne tout ardent;
Nu comme ung ver, vestu en president;
Je riz en pleurs et attens sans espoir;
Confort reprens en triste desespoir;
Je m'esjouÿs et n'ay plaisir aucun;
Puissant je suis sans force et sans povoir,
Bien recueully, debouté de chascun.

Riens ne m'est seur que la chose incertaine,
Obscur fors ce qui est tout evident;
Doubte ne fais fors en chose certaine;
Scïence tiens a soudain accident;
Je gaigne tout et demeure perdent;
Au point du jour diz : «Dieu vous doint bon soir ! »;
Gisant envers, j'ay grand paeur de chëoir;
J'ay bien de quoy et si n'en ay pas ung;
Eschoicte actens et d'homme ne suis hoir,
Bien recueully, debouté de chascun.

De riens n'ay soing, si mectz toute m'atayne
D'acquerir biens et n'y suis pretendent;
Qui mieulx me dit, c'est cil qui plus m'actaine,
Et qui plus vray, lors plus me va bourdent;
Mon ami est qui me faict entendent
D'ung cigne blanc que c'est ung corbeau noir,
Et qui me nuyst, croy qu'i m'ayde a pourvoir;
Bourde, ver(i)té, aujourd'uy m'est tout ung;
Je retiens tout, riens ne sçay concepvoir,
Bien recueully, debouté de chascun.

Prince clement, or vous plaise sçavoir
Que j'entens moult et n'ay sens ne sçavoir;
Parcïal suis, a toutes loys commun.
Que fais je plus ? Quoy ! les gaiges ravoir,
Bien recueully, debouté de chascun.

Middle Age

Even though most of alchemical thought seems absurd in comparison to modern scientific thinking, it should not be forgotten that the Middle Ages greatly influenced present culture.
