A meteorological journal of the mind.. thoreau, isola

Vendredi 25 janvier. — Je pensais que les artistes qui ont un style assez vigoureux sont dispensés de l’exécution exacte, témoin Michel-Ange. Arrivé à ce point, ce qu’ils perdent en vérité littérale, ils le regagnent bien en indépendance et en fierté. (x)

“I’ve spent my whole adult life in rarefied academic circles, where everyone has a good income and excellent working conditions. Yet I know many people in that world who are seething with resentment because they aren’t at Harvard or Yale, or who actually are at Harvard or Yale but are seething all the same because they haven’t received a Nobel Prize…. And this sort of high-end resentment, the anger of highly privileged people who nonetheless feel that they aren’t privileged enough or that their privileges might be eroded by social change, suffuses the modern conservative movement.” [Krugman 10.01.18]

Customer said she had too much debt (of course, that was easy with all these credit cards) green tea. Attendant’s nostrils filled with the newly roasted coffee he’d ground. Customer, feeling excluded from a conver

Learned this today: “invests” (which are weather disturbances that may turn into tropical cyclones) is short for “investigative areas” and are numbered 90-99 –don’t know why they start counting at 90– followed by a letter which gives the location. (L is the one I normally see, meaning North Atlantic.)

The question, why would a person read Aristotle today?

Would it be a reason to read Aristotle today if today’s Republicans were essentially Aristotalians? If today’s Democrats were essentially Platonists? If the ideas of the political left and right, supposedly dating from the French Revolution, actually had these more ancient, more philosophic, roots?

It has been some while since I’ve read A Wizard of Earth Sea but I now find myself drawn to the idea that knowing the real names of things would be an extremely great gift and power to have. I think this on learning what talus is (with respect to land formations) and Bias (with respect to textiles). What if our study of vocabulary included many more concrete nouns than it now does? What if the aim of our study of vocabulary was not to understand the words that are used in our reading materials but to be able to identify properly the things we use and are surrounded by? What if at, say the middle school level, we were made to know the name of every type of clothing and every common flower and every type of architectural joint, not as a matter of fashion or of botany or engineering, but simply to have a sort of handle (or a handle of any sort) on the things that we exist among, — to have that magic power?

Combien me le semblait-elle davantage, maintenant qu’elle me semblait pouvoir être éclaircie, elle qu’on vit dans les ténèbres ; ramenée au vrai de ce qu’elle était, elle qu’on fausse sans cesse, en somme réalisée dans un livre. Que celui qui pourrait écrire un tel livre serait heureux, pensais-je ; quel labeur devant lui ! [le Temps Retrouvé, wikisource.fr]

Andreas Mayor: “How much more worth living did it seem to me now, now that I seemed to see that this life that we live in half-darkness can be illumined, this life that at every moment we distort can be restored to its true pristine shape, that a life, in short, can be realised within the confines of a book! How happy would he be, I thought, the man who had the power to write such a book! What a task awaited him!” [Time Regained, pp. 451]
