Charlotte Brontë's letter to Ellen Nussey, dated November 7th 1854

Transcription:

"Dear Ellen

The news of an acquaintance death always seems to come suddenly. I thought ill of the previous accounts you had given of poor Elizabeth Cockhill – but still I did not expect she would die so soon. And theirs is a family into which it is difficult to realize the entrance of Death. They seemed so cheerful, active, sanguine. How does Sarah bear her loss? Will she not feel companionless – almost sisterless? I should almost fear so – for a married Sister can hardly be to her like the other. I should like to know too how Mrs Cockhill is. Did she ever lose a child before?

Arthur thanks you for the promise. He was out when I commenced this letter, but he is just come in – on my asking him whether he would give the pledge required in return – he says “yes we may now write any dangerous stuff we please to each other – it is not “old friends” he mistrusts, but the chances of war – the accidental passing of letters into hands and under eyes for which they were never written.”

All this seems mighty amusing to me: it is a man’s mode of viewing correspondence – Men’s letters are proverbially uninteresting and uncommunicative – I never quite knew before why they made them so. They may be right in a sense. Strange chances do fall out certainly. As to my own notes I never thought of attaching importance to them, or considering their fate – till Arthur seemed to reflect on both so seriously.

Mr Sowden and his brother were here yesterday – stayed all night and are but just gone. George Sowden is six or seven years the junior of Sutcliffe Sowden (the one you have seen) he looks very delicate and quiet – a good sincere man – I should think – Mr. S – asked after “Miss Nussey.”

I will write again next week if all be well, to name a day for coming to see you – I am sure you want – or at least, ought to have a little rest before you are bothered with more company: but whenever I come – I suppose, dear Nell, under present circumstances – it will be a quiet visit and that I shall not need to bring more than a plain dress or two. Tell me this when you write

Believe me faithfully yours

C Brontë Nicholls

I intend to write to Miss Wooler shortly"

Callimaco è una lampada di Ettore Sottsass realizzata nei primi anni Ottanta (1982): un oggetto ambiguo, ironico, che più che una piantana da terra sembra una scultura. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Dedicata allo scultore e architetto greco Callimaco di Atene del V secolo a.c., questa lampada si mantiene a cavallo tra funzionalità e antifunzionalità.⁣ ⁣⁣ Sottsass nel 1981, con Cibic, Zanini, Michele de Lucchi, George Sowden e Nathalie du Pasquier fondò il gruppo Memphis, quello stesso anno partecipò al Salone del Mobile di Milano.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ La prima collezione di Memphis — che comprendeva pezzi divenuti in seguito archetipi dello spirito postmoderno — ricevette un’accoglienza straordinaria, tra i quali la nostra Callimaco, presentata al tempo con sorgente alogena da 500 watt e variatore di intensità integrato.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Oggi Callimaco è stata rieditata utilizzando LED ad alta efficienza e touch dimmer per la regolazione dell’intensità luminosa.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Vista da spenta, Callimaco non lascia trapelare indizi circa la sua funzione; una volta accesa l’intensa luce si diffonde nell’ambiente sfruttando l’emissione indiretta 😍⁣⁣

Here’s Boxie and I with this month’s “Ask Me Anything” on George Hodel. In this session, I discussed Steve Hodel’s dismal attempt at handwriting analysis and bizarre claims that a woman named Romayne Goldsmith sold the Sowden House to George Hodel.
