"Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self. To be damned is for one's ordinary everyday mode of consciousness to be unremitting agonising preoccupation with self."

Iris Murdoch, The Nice and The Good

" She strung the afternoon on the necklace of memorable days, which was not too long for her to be able to recall this one or that one; this view, that city; to finger it, to feel it, to savour, sighing, the quality that made it unique."

Virginia Woolf, Moments of Being

This installation of "icicles" is the work of Linda Swanson. A supersaturated salt solution is slowly re-crystalizing in the tubes. The more opaque tubes were filled about a week ago, the clearer ones the morning of the exhibition. You could actually see tiny particles of salt falling slowly down through the liquid.

Anti Prorogation Rallies

Rallies have been taking place in many Canadian cities, protesting the prorogation of Parliament by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. In these photographs of the rally in Montreal on Saturday, the protests were overseen by the statue of King Edward VII; I wonder what the Queen thinks of these goings on?
