"If someone had ever told me that I had the slightest chance of winning the Nobel Prize, I would have to think that I’d have about the same odds as standing on the moon." Bob Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition." Read his full Nobel Prize banquet speech: bit.ly/2LsmwQn

Romans were known to create tombs for their dogs and gave them epitaphs to remember them by. One such inscription reads “I am in tears, while carrying you to your last resting place as much as I rejoiced when bringing you home with my own hands 15 years ago.”

This is Dornröschen — Sleeping Beauty — sculpted by Louis Sussmann-Hellborn in 1878 and now housed in Berlin’s Alte Nationalgalerie. The princess sleeps in an ornate throne as roses climb around her, while the fateful spindle lies nearby: the tiny detail that turns the entire sculpture back into the Grimm fairy tale.
