When Thomas Wentworth Higginson urged her to come to Boston in 1868 so that they could formally meet for the first time, she declined, writing: “Could it please your convenience to come so far as Amherst I should be very glad, but I do not cross my Father’s ground to any House or town”.[81] It was not until he came to Amherst in 1870 that they met. Later he referred to her, in the most detailed and vivid physical account of her on record, as “a little plain woman with two smooth bands of reddish hair … in a very plain & exquisitely clean white pique & a blue net worsted shawl.”[82] He also felt that he never was “with any one who drained my nerve power so much. Without touching her, she drew from me. I am glad not to live near her.”

Eisenstaedt’s reflection on Children watching the story of “Saint George and the Dragon,” at the puppet theater in the Tuileries, Paris, 1963

“It took a long time to get the angle I liked, but the best picture is the one I took at the climax of the action. It carries all the excitement of the children screaming,”The dragon is slain!” Very often this sort of thing is only a momentary vision, my brain does not register, only my eyes and finger react. Click.”

In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.

Fleetwood Mac /// “Go Your Own Way” /// Rumours

In honor of the emergent meme that 2010 will be the year hipsters and other miscellaneous alts fully embrace 70s soft rock. Are you ready? I don’t think you’re ready.

I am so ready.

I mean, it’s not going to happen, but I’ll be sitting here with open arms waiting for the some kind of glo-fi backlash that results in a heartfelt embrace of pristinely-produced AM pop.
