Anthony Hopkins, from
All Hallows’ Eve

James Joyce, from

Anti-Christmas) this year:
“… he glanced up at the clock
of the Ballast Office and smiled:
— It has not epiphanised yet,
he said.”
Ezra Pound (from a page
linked to yesterday morning):

or in a pattern of figures,
as in painting portraits….”

Hexagram 32 of the I Ching:
“Duration is a state whose movement is not worn down by hindrances. It is not a state of rest, for mere standstill is regression. Duration is rather the self-contained and therefore self-renewing movement of an organized, firmly integrated whole, taking place in accordance with immutable laws and beginning anew at every ending. The end is reached by an inward movement, by inhalation, systole, contraction, and this movement turns into a new beginning, in which the movement is directed outward, in exhalation, diastole, expansion.”
