"Quote Of The Day"

“God never ceases to speak to us, but the noise of the world without and the tumult of our passions within bewilder us and prevent us from listening to him.” — François Fénelon

Fables et fabulistes - Fénelon - Histoire de Florise.

Une paysanne connaissait dans son voisinage une fée. Elle la pria de venir à une de ses couches, où elle eut une fille. La fée prit d’abord l’enfant entre ses bras, et dit à la mère : Choisissez ; elle sera, si vous voulez, belle comme le jour, d’un esprit encore plus charmant que sa beauté, et reine d’un grand royaume, mais malheureuse ; ou bien elle sera laide et paysanne comme vous, mais…

Our Greatest Cross to Bear: "Self"

Photo by Nijwam Swargiary on Unsplash We must bear our crosses; self is the greatest of them; we are not entirely rid of it until we can tolerate ourselves as simply and patiently as we do our neighbor. If we die in part every day of our lives, we shall have but little to do on the last. What we so much dread in the future will cause us no fear when it comes, if we do not suffer its terrors to…

First of all, I would like to thank you all for this amazing year! It's been a pleasure meeting you all and I'm beyond thankful for your support.

Spread among 13 occupied and historic royal residences in the United Kingdom, the collection is owned by King Charles III and overseen by the Royal Collection Trust. The British monarch owns some of the collection in right of the Crown and some as a private individual. It is made up of over one million objects, including 7,000 paintings, over 150,000 works on paper, this including 30,000 watercolours and drawings, and about 450,000 photographs, as well as around 700,000 works of art, including tapestries, furniture, ceramics, textiles, carriages, weapons, armour, jewellery, clocks, musical instruments, tableware, plants, manuscripts, books, and sculptures.

Some of the buildings which house the collection, such as Hampton Court Palace, are open to the public and not lived in by the Royal Family, whilst others, such as Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the most remarkable of them, Buckingham Palace are both residences and open to the public.

About 3,000 objects are on loan to museums throughout the world, and many others are lent on a temporary basis to exhibitions.

The Sorrow of Telemachus

Artist: Angelica Kauffman (Swiss, 1741-1807)

Date: 1783

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art

This painting, by the Swiss artist Angelica Kauffmann, depicts a scene of the sea deity, Calypso, and her entourage of five other nymphs, playing host to two important guests who appeared on Calypso’s island. One guest is the youth in tan or gold garments, sitting despondently at the table. This young man is Telemachus, son of the famous Greek hero, Odysseus (or the Roman Ulysses), whose adventures were told in Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey. Behind Telemachus, a grey-haired and long-bearded figure can be seen. All of the other characters know the old fellow by the alias, Mentor, but the person is really the goddess Athena (or the Roman Minerva) in a magical disguise. Despite these characters, Angelica Kauffmann’s painting does not take its inspiration from a scene in Homer’s ancient epics, nor does it recreate any other ancient Greek or Roman myths about Telemachus, Athena/Minerva, and Calypso. Instead, the painting re-creates a scene from a book called The Adventures of Telemachus, published in 1699 by Archbishop François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon of Cambrai (his name can thankfully be shortened to François Fénelon). In this curious Odyssey spinoff, François Fénelon expanded on and added to the escapades and experiences that Telemachus underwent while he waited for his father to return home from the Trojan War, including the encounter with Calypso seen above.

Today I spent about 60€ on books. Mostly books for uni but also I got dialogue des morts/dialogue of the dead (François Fénelon) and Chanson de Roland/Song of Roland.

Roland is one of my favourite mythical/historic figures ever although I know very little about him. I might get very weird once I read it

"Exploits fill the heart with dangerous presumption; mistakes force man to withdraw into himself and return to him that prudence of which successes have deprived him."

"It is not enough to show the truth, it is necessary to present it kindly and beautifully....!!."

( François Fénelon )

[my-deer-friend]

Oslo antique book shops are full of untapped potential, and I've turned up this beautifully preserved two-volume set of Fénelon's Aventures de Télémaque from 1796 for a very reasonable price. (I'll write a more detailed post about it soon because it's an interesting work of what is essentially proto-fanfic. Anyway.)

The books are full of stunning illustrations by Clément-Pierre Marillier, but the one that caught my eye was this startlingly homoerotic depiction of Telemachus and Mentor, his - well - mentor. Per the subscript, this is "Telemachus and Mentor, escaping the waves that Neptune had raised against them".

See what I mean? I'm struggling to find a good reason for Telemachus to be sticking his hand there, or for him to be straddling the log with his naked ass out on display, or for Mentor's tender hold, or for the intent gaze they are sharing - very reminiscent of classical depictions of erastes and eromenos.

Then again, this is a depiction of ancient Greeks, and people in the 18th century had knowledge of these kinds of same-sex arrangements. Is Marillier purposefully including some subtext here?

[caleohateclub]

Looking up paintings of Calypso for funsies and finding out I'm a fake Calypso fan apparently because in The Adventures of Telemachus by François Fénelon, TELEMACHUS ends up washing ashore on Ogygia!

There are so many beautiful paintings of it too wow.
