Josephine’s lovely face with its expression of just having led the children from a burning orphan asylum did the rest.

A conglomerate heap of trash, that’s what I am.
But it burns with a high flame.

Bomber planes make us remember what Leonardo Da Vinci expected of the flight of man; he was to have raised himself into the air “in order to look for snow on the mountain summits, and then return to scatter it over city streets shimmering with the heat of summer.”
Pierre-Maxime Schuhl, 1938
Sometimes life is so unfair.

A cabinet of curiosities was an encyclopedic collection in Renaissance Europe of types of objects whose categorical boundaries were yet to be defined. They were also known by various names such as Cabinet of Wonder, and in German Kunstkammer or Wunderkammer (wonder-room). Modern terminology would categorize the objects included as belonging to natural history (sometimes faked), geology, ethnography, archaeology, religious or historical relics, works of art (including cabinet paintings) and antiquities. “The Kunstkammer was regarded as a microcosm or theater of the world, and a memory theater. The Kunstkammer conveyed symbolically the patron’s control of the world through its indoor, microscopic reproduction.” Of Charles I of England’s collection, Peter Thomas has succinctly stated, “The Kunstkabinett itself was a form of propaganda”. Besides the most famous and best documented cabinets of rulers and aristocrats, members of the merchant class and early practitioners of science in Europe also formed collections that were precursors to museums.
