Appendix 3 in the Oxford World's Classics The Man of Feeling: the Index to Tears. Covers two facing pages and opens with "'Odds but should have wept'"--on p. 5--and closed with "Cheek wiped (at the end of the last chapter) on p. 97

Perversely cheering to re-encounter the "Index to Tears" compiled for an 1886 edition of Henry Mackenzie's #18thc novel _The Man of Feeling_. (It's reprinted in the modern Oxford edition.)
47 entries for a novel of 98 pages.
I like the parenthetical annotation "Choking, &c, not counted".

Wondering if there's a blacklist or bulletin board for warnings of bad and unethical clients. I've just had a ridiculous experience with a museum's editor, who seemed to see indexing as some sort of literary maid service.

"My Respected Brother, Because my fault (my neglect in writing to you) and shame have deprived me even of the courage to offer my apology, my error has persisted until now.. With the utmost respect and longing, I kiss your blessed hands and offer my heartfelt congratulations on the Festival of Sacrifice. I humbly beg, my dear brother, that you do not withhold your gracious letter which would kindly inform me that I have been honored with your noble pardon. 13 January 1908 I present my highest respects to my brother Süleyman Bey and kiss the eyes of tiny Mini Mini…" "May your Eid be joyful and your life be long."

US Government Calls for Venice Biennale Proposals Focused on “American Values” The newly opened grant portal for the United States pavilion features updated Trumpian language and a shortened timeline for applications.

Shameful, if not surprising. Imagine the caliber of artist submitting for this.

Oh, that looks good!

Damn it, I liked this one.

That begs for podficcing.

Tried to treat myself today, but most food makes me sick to look at or smell. I still tolerate lemon water, rice cooked in chicken broth, and little oranges. Green beans are the only acceptable veg this week, though I think escarole or chard might be OK, if I could get them. With white beans.

Pope Sends Deputy to Lecture Vance on Compassion at Vatican Vance had an “an exchange of opinions” with Cardinal Pietro Parolin that touched on migration, the Vatican said.

"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement."

Curtain rises on everything you most desire: banquet, wine, music, books, a globe, the world. All brought together in 1640 by Jan Davidsz de Heem, whose day is today.

I didn't realize until last night, when a friend mentioned it in a text, that this Sunday is Easter. Work.
At least I don't have time to feel sad/guilty about doing no Easter baking this year. Buying myself a chocolate bunny would be nice, if I can do it via insta-cart.

Today I learned that Peter Weller - the guy that played Robocop - was so humiliated by Dario Argento's Director of Photography, while talking about art, that he subsequently went and got a PhD in Art History, and now just published a book on Alberti with Cambridge University Press.

Older people who use smartphones ‘have lower rates of cognitive decline’ Analysis of over-50s who engage with phones, tablets and other devices challenges fears of ‘digital dementia’ Fears that smartphones, tablets and other devices could drive dementia in later life have been challenged by research that found lower rates of cognitive decline in older people who used the technology. An analysis of published studies that looked at technology use and mental skills in more than 400,000 older adults found that over-50s who routinely used digital devices had lower rates of cognitive decline than those who used them less.
