The quote of the month from Analogik (mentioned at length in the previous entry) is
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music". Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963), "Music at Night", 1931
I like Brave New World, sure, but I liked 1984 better. I found out the other day about the Orwell Diaries, and I think it's awesome. Seventy years from when Orwell wrote in his diaries, his writings are being published day by day on the blog. It's been a very domestic August, although I do find it interesting to observe Orwell's fascination with plants, animals, and bottling methods. In September it is supposed to go into his political diaries, and then day by day we will relive the buildup to the second World War. Intense, huh?
