Chromatic Polarisation of Light (German, unknown) [1895]

The Virtual Museum of the History of Mineralogy contains a large collection of scans from monographs on crystallography and mineralogy, arranged by author in alphabetical order, from 1450 to 1912. The chromolithographs of optical interference figures, mostly from the 19th century record the passage of light through crystal lattices to reveal a corresponding geometric figure. Visualising the interference and chromatic polarisation of light during short mineral detours allowed mineralogists to decrypt the chemical constitution and locate the geological origin of each wafer-thin sample; photons moving at light speed were coaxed into perusing time-spans of billions of years. The proto-op art configuration of the figures echo the morphologies of Kluver’s Form Constants, Purkinje’s taxonomy of visual subjective phenomena and Chladni’s figures (which are, after all, also captive remnants of the properties of wave vibration). These intelligible ornaments deserve a place in collective unconscious for optical and spectral phenomena.

Esquisses Décoratives – René Binet

Binet’s study of Haeckel’s lithographs of radiolaria culminated in the design for his Monumental Gate, located on the Place de la Concorde, at the Eastern entrance of the Exposition Universelle (World Faire) held in Paris in 1900. Gustave Geffroy notes in his introductory foreword to Esquisses Décoratives that Binet’s main inspiration for ‘Porte Monumentale’ were a family of radiolaria known as Cyrtoidea. The design was heavily based on one radiolaria illustration alone – the Cyrtoidea Pterocanium trilobum.

I just want to be the friend that everybody deserves. I want to let everyone know how much I love them and care about them- what a positive influence they are on my life and how grateful I am- but I get so drained so fast I never feel like I can adequately express any of that... I’m so tired. I’m overwhelmed. I want to take care of my loved ones, but I wish somebody would just take care of me for a moment, and help me push on. I didn’t mean to be weak. I just wish someone would ask me what’s wrong and help me. I always wonder why nobody asks me. I feel guilty for even wanting that, too. Please help.

I wish I could even begin to express my gratitude as wholly as is deserved.

You were the patron saint of the blind all along, my love. Rest now, sweet child, Weary wanderer, Old sage~

They say my tongue’d been cut out, the sound stolen from my veins. I know who it was, ‘The Blind Bandit’- that cunning thief in the night. I opened my mouth, to cry out his name, but only blood flowed from my lips.

I found my answers in your poetry.

Is that cheating? --------------------Do you care? He doesn’t even remember writing them, anyway. God knows where that innocence can be found now.

On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure. Even a little effort toward spiritual awareness will protect you from the greatest fear.

THERE SHOULD BE A WORD FOR:

The phenomenon in a dream, -(where you read something clear as day, but as you look away realize it might be something else ((recognize the possibilities)) )- but when you look back you find a different word/phrase, or more often complete gibberish.
