"You remember too much,"

my mother said to me recently.

"Why hold onto all that?"

And I said,

"Where can I put it down?"

She said,

"When you see these horrible images why do you stay with them? Why keep watching? Why not go away?"

I was amazed.

"Go away where?" I said.

- Anne carson, from "The Glass Eassy"

What John doesn’t know is that decades later, someone will draw him as a fuckboi who wandered out of an Ax body spray commercial and probably also identifies as a SoundCloud rapper, rip 🪦 😭

None of it was my fault.

[from1837to1945]

Grant Withers' care-free personality is well served in this talkie with Mary Astor.

"Other Men's Women" is a triangle railway melodrama in which a young fireman falls in love with the wife of his friend the engine-driver. In a jealous fight, the engine-driver is injured and blinded, but realises in the ensuing weeks that he has misjudged his friend and his wife. Finally his melodramatic death leaves the two free to marry.

Grant Withers left the world of journalism to become a film extra. He is as successful in talkies as in silent pictures.
