feeling like the canon of Western art could include many more people of middle age as subjects, though to be fair middle age as a phase of life seems like a relatively recent thing — in days of yore, the bloom of youth was maybe bludgeoned quickly into old age by life’s challenges

This art instantly made me happy. Most art I have seen in art class had never shown this much joy and this much motion.

An oil painting of Catherine Grey -- also known as Lady Manners (!) -- a woman with light skin tone, wearing a white flowing gown. In her right hand, she holds a pink rose. She stands and leans against a banister. A peacock perches on the banister behind her, on our right.

count myself a king of infinite space, were it not
that I have bad dreams. -- Act 2, scene 2, Hamlet, a famed quotation that someone read aloud to me recently

Looking forward to rewatching “Rachel Getting Married” for all the scenes of the parties of the weekend — and to see what I feel about Anne Hathaway’s performance now I am older — she struck me back when as far too performative (but lovely) to be a borderline-coded (?) druggie
