Why spend even one day searching for someone else when it could take a lifetime to find yourself?

A Scene from Milton’s ‘Comus’ (exh.1844). Charles Robert Leslie (English, 1794-1859). Oil paint on canvas. Tate.

Seated on an enchanted chair, the Lady is immobilised, and Comus accosts her, holding a necromancer’s wand, he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her. Comus urges the Lady to “be not coy” and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity.

Oedipus and Antigone, n.d. Franz Dietrich (German, 1838-1890). Crocker Art Museum.

Dietrich depicts the tragic aftermath of the story of Oedipus from Sophocles’ play. The king of Thebes, Oedipus was abandoned as a child because of a prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his mother, both of which subsequently happened. The tragic revelation drives him insane, and he blinds himself and wanders the world with his daughter Antigone.

Sometimes a hello is an ‘I hope I get to know you,’ sometimes it’s an ‘I’ve missed you,’ sometimes it’s a 'God, I love you,’ and sometimes it’s just a 'hello.’

Love hinders death. Love is life. All, everything that I understand. I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists , only because I love. - Andrei Bolkonsky (Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace)
