If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend, I hope I should have the guts to betray my country.
How can I tell what I think till I see what I say?
I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet, there would be no more wars.
“Society is invincible - to a certain degree. But your real life is your own, and nothing can touch it. There is no power on earth that can prevent your criticizing and despising mediocrity - nothing that can stop you retreating into splendour and beauty - into the thoughts and beliefs that make the real life - the real you.”
―from WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD by E.M. Forster

When a young English widow takes off on the grand tour and along the way marries a penniless Italian, her in-laws are not amused. That the marriage should fail and poor Lilia die tragically are only to be expected. But that Lilia should have had a baby — and that the baby should be raised as an Italian! — are matters requiring immediate correction by Philip Herriton, his dour sister Harriet, and their well-meaning friend Miss Abbott. In his first novel, E. M. Forster anticipated the themes of cultural collision and the sterility of the English middle class that he would develop in A Room with a View and A Passage to India. Where Angels Fear to Tread is an accomplished, harrowing, and malevolently funny book, in which familiar notions of vice and virtue collapse underfoot and the best intentions go mortally awry.

Scottish architect, designer and artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh was born #onthisday in 1868. He and his wife Margaret were leading exponents of the Glasgow Style that grew out of The Glasgow School of Art in the 1890s. Their bold work influenced design across Europe. This effervescent watercolour was made by the couple in 1925 when they had moved to the south of France http://ow.ly/3JRS30coSMY

Friedrich Hölderlin spent half his life in a tower. Scholars call this his Tower Period. All poets should have one.
In our Winter 1981 issue, we published a series of Rilke translations by Stephen Mitchell, among which is “To Hölderlin.” An affecting eulogy, it lauds the poet as a “wandering spirit” who played with the “infinite joy” that “godlike children” had scattered “on the gentle lawns of the earth.” And it celebrates the smoldering intensity of his verse:
To you, O majestic poet, to you the compelling image,
O caster of spells, was a life, entire; when you uttered it
a line snapped shut like fate; there was a death
even in the mildest, and you walked straight into it
