This was carved from a single block of marble by a 23 year old in 1622. Bernini turned stone into flesh... The sculpture is called the Abduction of Proserpina, and it depicts the moment described in Ovid's Metamorphoses, when the goddess Proserpina was gathering flowers in a meadow and the earth opened beneath her. Pluto, king of the underworld, rose from the dark to take her. Out of every instant in that abduction, Bernini chose the one when her feet leave the ground. She is suspended in his arms. She is no longer in the world above, and not yet in the world below. Her left hand pushes desperately against Pluto's face. Her right is thrown back toward a sky she will never see again. And where the god's fingers close around her thigh, the marble surrenders to them, dimpling inward as living flesh would, as though Bernini had reached the deepest secret of stone and discovered that it had always been waiting to give in. He used to boast that in his hands, "marble became as impressionable as wax and as soft as dough." On her right cheek, a single tear has been running for four hundred years... The work was commissioned in 1621 by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who wanted it as a showpiece for his own villa. He kept it for less than a year. In the summer of 1622, with a new pope newly elected, he gave it away as a political gift to the pope's nephew, Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi. It disappeared into private hands for nearly three centuries. The Italian state bought it back in 1908 and returned it to the room it had been made for. It has been there ever since. I have stood in front of it, and I can tell you that nothing prepares you for the moment you actually see those fingers in her thigh. The marble seems alive and you forget, for a few seconds, that it is stone at all... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

These two giant tortoises have been fighting each other for over 120 years. According to the zoo, one tortoise stole the other’s food 120 years ago, and from that day on they became enemies. There hasn’t been a single day where they haven’t fought for a while

What does Reform actually want? To lower the Minimum Wage. Get rid of the NHS and replace with US Health Insurance. Cut Benefits by at least 30%, which will have to be all of them, including State Pension, Child Benefit and Tax Credit. And much more, and it's all terrible.

“Go inside, he will kill you” A 14-year-old Palestinian student, Aws al-Naasan, was shot in the head and killed outside his school in al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, after an Israeli reservist took position on a nearby hillside and opened fire toward the school. The Guardian reports testimonies from teachers and students describing scenes of terror, with children hiding in stairwells as staff rushed to secure the building. Teachers shouted warnings “go inside, he will kill you”, as gunfire rang out. Aws collapsed instantly, and his classmates carried his bleeding body along the school wall, leaving a trail of blood, but he died before reaching medical care. Minutes later, the same attacker shot and killed 36-year-old Jihad Abu Naim, whose wife is pregnant with their first child.
