"He slept that night in his own country and he had a dream wherein he saw God's pilgrims laboring upon a darkened verge in the last of the twilight of that day and they seemed to be returning from some deep enterprise that was not of war nor were they yet in flight but rather seemed coming from some labor to which perhaps these and all other things stood subjugate."
The Crossing, Cormac McCarthy

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: When Ronald Searle’s wife, Monica, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer in 1969, the illustrator drew her a Mrs. Mole drawing “to cheer every dreaded chemotherapy session and evoke the blissful future ahead.” Monica survived the then-experimental treatment, and died just last summer. Ronald died in January.
Now a collection of 47 Mrs. Mole drawings has been released as a book, Les Tres Riches Heures de Mrs Mole.
Said Ronald Searle:

“I drew them originally for no one’s eyes except Mo’s, so she would look at them propped up against her bedside lamp and think: ‘When I’m better, everything will be beautiful.’ … Everything about them had to be romantic and perfect.”

But I bet it’s also still a lot about the hormones…let’s be real. You two are some fine middle-aged parental babes. 

On a serious note, they’re my relationship role models.

It’s love story day on my blog, apparently. Also: Johnny Cash has the cutest ears.

“Husbands and wives should have separate interests, cultivate different sets of friends and not impose on the other. You can’t spend a lifetime breathing down each other’s necks. We are very, very different people and yet somehow we fed off those varied differences and instead of separating us, it has made the whole bond a lot stronger.” - Paul Newman

bon-aventures:

This is the side entrance to the Thalberg building, and this is the spot where I met Spencer Tracy. He was coming along from the commissary with Joe Mankiewicz, he had produced The Philadelphia Story and god-willing was going to produce Woman of the Year. And I said ‘How do you do?’  and I had on very high heels. I was about 5’ 7 1/2” then — I’ve been shrinking steadily, I doubt if I’d hit 5’5” now. Spencer was about 5’10” and there was a silence, and I couldn’t think of anything to say so I said, ‘Sorry I’ve got these high heels on, but when we do the movie I’ll be careful of what I wear.’ And he just looked at me with those old lion eyes of his, and Joe looked at me and said, ‘Don’t worry Kate. He’ll cut you down to his size.’ Well, I didn’t know what to say. I just stood there like a goof.

Doesn’t this look like the kind of storybook place where Will and Kate would live?

Kept Promise of the Day: A tipster writes: “Strolling around Ball State on a Sunday afternoon and I stumbled across this taped to the ledge on the big Art Museum stairs.”
If it takes forever, I will wait for you… brb, bawling my eyes out indefinitely.
