Scottish artist Alexander Goudie was chosen to revive the tradition of creative collaboration between artists and the famous ceramic ‘fainceries’ of Quimper. The resulting series of ceramic sculptures depicting ‘Breton types’, bear testament to a way of life that had all but vanished at the end of the 20th century.

Fom the Rainer Maria Rilke portfolio of 24 lithographs, "For the Sake of a Single Verse". The prints each illustrate a passage from Rilke’s only novel, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (1910). This semi-autobiographical novel tells the story of a college student living in destitution in Paris in the early 1900s. The book made a profound impression on Shahn.

"Saying nothing...sometimes says the most," Emily Dickinson wrote her aunt in 1874. As Jen Bervin explains in the November 2013 issue of Poetry, for Dickinson "nothing" didn't mean just anything: "Nothing," the poet wrote, "is the force that renovates the World–,” and "no," “the wildest word we consign to Language.” Wisdom Quotes, Emily Dickinson, Quotes, Quotable Quotes, Favorite Quotes, Words Quotes, Poem Quotes, Literary Quotes

'Silence: A Moonlight Dream' by Nina Koltchitskaia
A Hemulen, for those who don’t know, looks a little like a Moomin, though probably neither would be flattered by the comparison. Hemulens tend to be collectors – scientifically-minded, very organised, a little bossy and extremely noisy. So you can see that a Hemulen who loved silence would not fit in well with his peers, and indeed this one didn’t. It's the perfect story for introverts and all who would like to understand them.
