“Sven's actual results on the park were not quite good enough to make him a hero, and not quite bad enough to get him the sack, so he left the gentlemen of the press with something of a void. And they abhor a void. Soon the discovery that Sven was in fact a hammer-man of legendary proportions filled the void, until the media came to realise that Sven was that rare thing, a man whose astonishing success with women somehow didn't make him more interesting.” MenEnoughFactsLeftInterestingResultsMediaFootballHeroDiscoveryFilledPressesManagersSoccerGentlemanParksProportionGood EnoughRealisingVoidHammersAstonishingChairmanLegendaryRare Things Author:Declan Lynch

“In the days of Ram Mohan Roy when English education was introduced in this country, the Mahomedans did not accept it... They did not accept English education and at the same time they were divorced from the culture which their fathers had advanced. The result was that whereas the Hindus got on in life, got into government employment, got many things which people value in life, the Mahomedans were left without it and gradually there came to be a sort of estrangement between the two nationalities at the time of the Swadeshi movement.” PeopleTwoCountryGovernmentValuesCultureFatherLeftResultsAcceptingMovementEmploymentDivorcedNationalityValue Of LifeEstrangementRamsEnglish Education Author:Chittaranjan Das

“There is plenty of room left for exact experiment in art, and the gate has been opened for some time. What had been accomplished in music by the end of the eighteenth century has only begun in the fine arts. Mathematics and physics have given us a clue in the form of rules to be strictly observed or departed from, as the case may be. Here salutary discipline is come to grips first of all with the function of forms, and not with form as the final result … in this way we learn how to look beyond the surface and get to the root of things.” WayFirstsLooksMayHas BeensArtEndsFormLeftGivenRoomsResultsMusicCasesLearningCenturyFineDisciplineRootsFunctionMathematicsFinalsSurfacePhysicsExperimentsPlentyAccomplishedGatesClueFine ArtsDeparted Author:Paul Klee
“In Advance of All Parting is a tough, unsentimental examination of marital grief. Musically elegant and inventive, understated and passionate, the poems give us a profound glimpse into how the events of a life can form a center of gravity that fixes the self in its force field. Theres a cold, truth-telling clarity about them that makes them as unsettling as they are beautiful. Ansie Baird has created a richly-drawn world in which this elemental drama plays out, and the result is vivid, startling poems in which pain has left its indelible tracks.” WorldGivingSelfPlayPainBeautifulFormLeftForceResultsGriefEventsFieldsColdDramaToughProfoundPassionateTrackClarityTelling The TruthGravityGlimpseElegantVividExaminationPartingElementalsIndelibleUnderstatedForce FieldsCenter Of Gravity Author:Chase Twichell

“In all the known history of Mankind, advances have been made primarily in physical technology; in the capacity of handling the inanimate world about Man. Control of self and society has been left to to chance or to the vague gropings of intuitive ethical systems based on inspiration and emotion.

“When a Pueblo Indian does not feel in the right mood, he stays away from the men's council. When an ancient Roman stumbled on the threshold as he left the house, he gave up his plans for the day. This seems to us senseless, but under primitive conditions of life such an omen inclines one at least to be cautious. When I am not in full control of myself, my bodily movements may be under a certain constraint; my attention is easily distracted; I am somewhat absent-minded. As a result I knock against something, stumble, let something fall, or forget something.” MenFeelsMayDoeSeemsCertainFallHouseLeftForgetResultsAttentionPlansConditionsMovementAncientMoodIndianPrimitiveCouncilDistractedAbsentConstraintsCautiousGave UpThresholdInclineOmenBe CautiousAbsent Minded Author:Carl Jung
