Mainromanoff - Anna

 when sylvia plath wrote “the silence depressed me. it wasn’t the silence of silence. it was my own silence.” and when anne carson wrote “why does tragedy exist? because you are full of rage. why are you full of rage? because you are full of grief.” and when jenny slate wrote “and i am getting older but i am not growing up and my heart is getting soft dark spots on it like a fruit that has gone bad.” and when virginia woolf wrote “to want and not to have, sent all up her body a hardness, a hollowness, a strain.” and when susanna kaysen wrote “when you’re sad, you need to hear your sorrow structured into sound.” and when margaret atwood wrote “already my childhood seemed far away – a remote age, faded and bittersweet, like dried flowers. did i regret its loss, did i want it back? i didn’t think so…” and when gillian flynn wrote “i was not a lovable child, and i’d grown into a deeply unlovable adult.”

Object of the Week: Five-Draw Telescope, unknown maker, Italy, 1700-1750. 2018.8.5. 

The introduction of the telescope in 1608 led to the production of many Galilean telescopes with a single-lens eyepiece, low magnification, and a narrow field of view. The development of the compound eyepiece in 1645 made it possible to use the telescope as a more effective device for astronomical and terrestrial observation. This example could be used for both types of observation: at 44 cm in length, it’s portable, and it provides magnification and a field of view convenient for observing both realms.

“Just because you can feel another person’s emotions doesn’t make you responsible for them.”
