so much of laudna’s journey with delilah has reminded me of dani at the end of bly manor but probably never more than her just now saying “she’s gonna take me” exactly like dani during the “the beast in the jungle” monologue

The Beast (French: La Bête) is a 2023 science fiction romantic drama film directed and written by Bertrand Bonello from a story he co-wrote with Guillaume Bréaud and Benjamin Charbit. It is loosely based on Henry James's 1903 novella The Beast in the Jungle. It stars Léa Seydoux and George MacKay, with Guslagie Malanda and Dasha Nekrasova in supporting roles.

Wood Engraving Wednesday

BLAIR HUGHES-STANTON

English wood engraver Blair Hughes-Stanton (1902–1981) produced 16 wood engravings for an edition of The Beast in the Jungle by Henry James (1843-1916), designed, printed, and bound in 1963 by Lewis and Dorothy Allen in an edition of 130 copies at their Allen Press in Kentfield, California. After a long career of wood engraving, painting, and fine-press publishing, especially as co-director with his wife and fellow engraver Gertrude Hermes of the Gregynog Press, Hughes-Stanton began to work with the Allens in 1955, producing five books for them from 1956 to 1973. The color wood engravings for this book were also overprinted with linocut patterns. In their 1985 The Allen Press Bibliography, the Allens write:

The sixteen illustrations printed directly from the wood in two colors are remarkable for their unique style and their subtle allegorical interpretation of the emotional problems confronting the main characters. This we believe is a perceptive interpretation of a text by an artist.

Our copy is another donation from the estate of our late friend, Dennis Bayuzick.

The way that it's not "my love will fix you" or "I'll fight off your demons for you" or anything but rather "do you want company while you wait for your beast in the jungle?" in Bly Manor is so... completely.. like... hold on i need a minute

The Haunting of Bly Manor

Hello everyone! It’s me again, and I am back with my review of the second and (if the rumors are to be believed) LAST installment of The Haunting series on Netflix. I told you in my Haunting of Hill House review that I would be back with a Bly Manor review, didn’t I? I bet you thought that I forgot, didn’t you? Didn’t you? Well, I didn’t! Life just happened to get in the way…as it so badly has a…

This is why Henry James wrote The Beast in the Jungle

"He had justified his fear and achieved his fate; he had failed, with the last exactitude, of all he was to fail of; and a moan now rose to his lips as he remembered she had prayed he mightn’t know.  This horror of waking—this was knowledge, knowledge under the breath of which the very tears in his eyes seemed to freeze.  Through them, none the less, he tried to fix it and hold it; he kept it there before him so that he might feel the pain.  That at least, belated and bitter, had something of the taste of life."

James, Henry. The Beast in the Jungle (p. 35). Kindle Edition.
