Rope is thicker, but string is quicker ! "

That one's actually bushcrafty

Though I taught my young sons,
" Scintillate, scintillate, globule vivific,
Fain would I fathom your nature specific
Loftily poised in the ether capacious,
somewhat resembling a gem carbonaceous....."

On his death bed - Oscar Wilde said

Either this wallpaper goes - or I do!

Gosio's disease is certainly a viable theory because of the dampness and use of Scheele's Green

This day does not belong to one man, but to all. Let us together rebuild this world that we may share in these days of peace.

Talking of that, have you read Victoria Finlay's, "Journey through the paintbox", ? It's a fascinating read; full of detail and snippets of information

A human being is a part of a whole, called by us “universe”, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.“Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding ;0)​

“The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.


The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others.”
― Cormac McCarthy
