Supposing that a lyric poet of the new school really had to deal with such an idea as that expressed in Pope's line about Man:

"A being darkly wise and rudely great,"

Is it really so certain that he would go deeper into the matter than that old antithetical jingle goes? I venture to doubt whether he would really be any wiser or weirder or more imaginative or more profound. The one thing that he would really be, would be longer. Instead of writing,

"A being darkly wise and rudely great,"

the contemporary poet, in his elaborately ornamented book of verses, would produce something like the following:

"A creature

Of feature

More dark, more dark, more dark than skies,

Yea, darkly wise, yea, darkly wise:

Darkly wise as a formless fate.

And if he be great,

If he be great, then rudely great,

Rudely great as a plough that plies,

And darkly wise, and darkly wise."

Have we really learnt to think more broadly? Or have we only learnt to spread our thoughts thinner?

-G.K. Chesterton, Varied Types

Ludvig Find (May 16, 1869 - 1945) was a Danish Modernist painter who did some of his best work while still a student - first a couple of years at the Academy, then much longer with Krøyer and Zahrtmann. His work was Symbolist at the time with lines back to the Renaissance. Later he became much more traditional in his art.

Il est arrivé il y a quelques jours pour faire le quatrième. Existerait-il dans un autre coloris? Je verrais bien un vert en complément, mais je n'y crois guère. Le translucide était arrivé en octobre 2021.

Frank Lloyd Wright built the Rose Pauson House in 1940-42 for two sisters from San Francisco. Their goal was to spend winters in the Arizona desert near Phoenix. Wright's creation -- a striking juxtaposition of rustic materials and modern design thinking -- was, tragically, destroyed by accidental fire a couple of years after its completion. The massive stone chimney remains, where it has become a local landmark. (

Homura is just straight up one of the weirdest people imaginable. Like, forget about the time loop tragic doomed romance for a bit, I want to see what it looks like if she wins and then actually tries to romance Madoka. She has a massive collection of illegal firearms. She builds her own bombs. She lives in an ultra-modernist white box apartment that she's decorated with a couch made of concentric circles, a giant swinging knife pendulum to remind her of the ever-present flow of time, and a wall of several dozen screens. She communicates primarily in vague and ominous warnings and is more or less incapable of saying anything directly. She addresses everyone she meets by their full name with no honorific which comes across as bizarre and intimidating. If you count time loop years she's 26. She was raised in a catholic orphanage. I want to see her take Madoka on a horrifically bad date and cry in the bathroom partway through when she realizes she's fucking up

Someone to See Ya, Honey

STAR WARS EPISODE II: Attack of the Clones 00:31:40 - 00:31:42

Here's a diagram I made of Dex's Diner. It's not to scale, but I think this shows all the characters who appear and where they're seated (except FLO and Hermione Bagwa because they're all over the place).

#5 Seboca and human patron #20 leave while Obi-Wan and Dex are talking, and #24 Bogg Tyrell only enters for a drink and staggers back out.

Here are Kajain'sa'Nikto #1 and #2 sitting against the back wall beside the door. Maybe this door leads to the refresher because they are missing in a few shots. Nature might have been calling!

In front of them, you can see human patron #3. She has a hairstyle similar to Wilst Molan from the Outlander, who is glimpsed briefly at the Outlander Club, but it looks like a different actress.

Here is human patron #3 and the unnamed Pacithhip #4, with the two Niktos behind them missing. They return a minute later.

The Pacithhip might be drinking Jawa Juice like Obi-Wan as he's got the same style of cup!

The next table has 3 named patrons: Seboca the Dug holovid star, another Dug named Rednax, and the Nuknog private investigator Slyther Bushforb. (Love that name lol)

They're most easily seen when Obi-Wan first enters the diner.

Seated at the next table are two Rodians, Honka and Sidewa, along with a human companion wearing a helmet (patron #10). You see them several times during Obi-Wan's chat with Dex.

We all know who's sitting at the next table: Obi-Wan and his old pal, Dexter Jettster!

The next patron, on the other side of the entrance, *might* be Lowle Ch'red. She's wearing similar clothing as an extra who didn't appear in the movie (as far as I've found) who was identified as Lowle Ch'red, but they're played by two very different actresses.

Personally, and for obvious reasons, I think they should be separate characters. The black actress doesn't wear a headdress or metal armbands and has a tattoo on her chest, while the white actress doesn't. They just have similar fashion sense!

The next two patrons (#14 and #15) we never get a good look at. #14 might just be a human wearing a tall collar (much like patron #21 at the counter), but we just don't know as their back is always turned. #15 is an older human with white hair.

The table along the far wall is interesting. There's a human patron (#16) but their companion (#17) is tricky. It looks like a Weequay mask possibly, but without hair or maybe with white hair? Or it could be a different kind of mask, but the wrinkles kinda look Weequay to me.

Beside them, we have a single human patron looking wistfully out the window by himself. There might be another booth there, but I think it's more likely a set of stools like the Niktos are sitting at on the opposite end of the diner.

Speaking of the other end of the diner, let's head back to the back and check out who's sitting at the counter. Patron #19 is a bald human seen briefly at the beginning of the scene, blurry as the camera moves, and again later when we get a wider shot of the diner.

Next to #19, we have the diner patron played by Sara Elizabeth Joyce. In this interview with Amy Richau, Sara explains that George told her that she was a bounty hunter and doesn't like Jedi, hence why she exits the scene shortly after spotting Obi-Wan.

Also in that interview is this behind the scenes photo, which also shows a better look at diner patron #19.

Next we have another diner patron wearing a big hood, like patron #14, again with their back turned to us so we don't know if it's a human or a different species. It looks like they might have a large blaster hanging on their side too.

Two spots down we have another human patron, #22, who gets a close up shot when Obi-Wan enters the diner. He's got a pretty interesting looking collar on his suit - and it looks like he's carrying a blaster on his belt too!

The last sitting patron is this human patron, #23, at the end of the bar, close to the kitchen. In another shot, we see that he's chowing down on one of Dex's famous sliders!

And finally, the last patron, #24, who enters and abruptly leaves is Senator Bogg Tyrell, who we saw earlier during the speeder chase with her significant other, Seboca (who's sitting nearby). She grabs a drink and then walks back out, followed shortly by Seboca.
