@RickBarry44 I'll look for this at libraries!

I went straight home from school to the new house. Though as a grown man I have often stood and looked at the old house, I have never been inside it since that day, when a great many objects that I remember and would like to be reunited with disappeared without a trace: Victorian walnut sofas and chairs that my fingers had absently traced every knob and scroll of, mahogany tables, worn Oriental rugs, gilt mirrors, pictures, big square books full of photographs that I knew by heart. If they hadn't disappeared then, they would have on some other occasion, life being, as Ortega y Gasset somewhere remarks, in itself and forever a shipwreck. WILLIAM MAXWELL, So Long, See You Tomorrow

@LoneStarMick Me too! The writing is extraordinary. It was a librarian in Calgary who recommended this book 2 me. She herself was mesmerised.

@trainorc The first of his I ever read, and have since read all the rest. LOVE his writing!

The gas boiled in like a familiar ogre. With the same stately gracelessness it rolled to the edge of the parapet and then like the heads of a many-headed creature it toppled gently forward and sank down to join the waiting men. SEBASTIAN BARRY, A Long Long Way

“In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men . . . I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity in general.” #LosHermanosKaramazov Dostoevsky

Elmo takes requests! What song should Elmo learn? 🎹❤️

Could listen to her every day for the rest of my life:)

“All power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.” — Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune

For generations, the women who shaped Carl Jung’s intellectual world were pushed to the margins of his story—footnotes to a great man. Only now are Emma Jung, Toni Wolff, and Sabina Spielrein being acknowledged as the brilliant thinkers they were, women whose emotional labor, intellectual daring, and psychological insight helped define the foundations of analytical psychology. Emma Jung, Jung’s wife, was far more than the patient spouse holding down the household while her husband built his career. She was a scholar of mythology, symbolism, and the feminine psyche, diving into subjects that many male scholars dismissed as unimportant. Her work on the Grail legend is still respected today, and her perspective on the inner lives of women provided Jung with ideas he folded seamlessly into his own. She was his intellectual partner—uncredited, indispensable, and quietly formidable. Toni Wolff, Jung’s long-time collaborator and lover, was a pioneering theorist in her own right. She developed the concept of the four feminine archetypes—Mother, Amazon, Hetaira, and Medial Woman—frameworks that continue to influence modern psychological thought. She was known for her sharp mind, her intuitive grasp of the symbolic world, and her willingness to explore depths of the psyche that Jung himself sometimes hesitated to enter. Wolff wasn’t merely the muse; she was the mapmaker. And then there is Sabina Spielrein, once framed only as Freud and Jung’s troubled patient. In truth, she was a visionary psychoanalyst whose ideas prefigured many of the theories Carl Jung later claimed as his own. Her writings on destruction, creativity, and the unconscious were revolutionary. She brought a fierce intelligence and emotional courage to early psychoanalytic circles, even as she navigated the gendered hostility of the field and the complex, often inappropriate dynamics with her mentors. These women were not passive satellites orbiting Jung but luminous minds whose contributions helped birth an entire psychological movement. They endured the constraints placed on them as women in a male-dominated discipline yet still managed to carve out space for their work, their insights, and their voices. Their long-overdue recognition is more than a correction of historical oversight—it is a reminder of how many women across time have shaped the intellectual world but were written out of it. By reclaiming Emma Jung, Toni Wolff, and Sabina Spielrein, we see not just what was lost, but what women have always been capable of: advancing knowledge, reshaping thought, and refusing to remain invisible. © Reddit #archaeohistories
