My guess is that if the longest-serving Democratic Speaker of the House had been a convicted child molester, Republicans might mention it from time to time. By contrast the Democrats have always been committed to a discreet silence about Dennis Hastert:

Strange enlightenments: Flann O’Brien, born OTD in 1911

An idea came to me that the breezes high above the ground are separate from those which play on the same level as men’s faces: here the air was newer and more unnatural, nearer the heavens and less laden with the influences of the earth. Up here I felt that every day would be the same always, serene and chilly, a band of wind isolating the earth of men from the far-from-understandable enormities of the girdling universe. Here on the stormiest autumn Monday there would be no wild leaves to brush on any face, no bees in the gusty wind. I sighed sadly.
‘Strange enlightenments are vouchsafed,’ I murmured, ‘to those who seek the higher places.’ (from The Third Policeman)

'Venetian Reflections.' In 1879 Whistler travelled to Venice, a move which instigated a period of great artistic productivity with an increasingly minimalist approach, more abstract and dependent on a minimum of lines.

Philip Glass & Wilson by Robert Mapplethorpe, 1976 Roland Barthes discusses this photo in his Camera Lucida: “Wilson *holds* me but I cannot say why, i.e., say where”. More from Barthes in the Alt Text

Glass & Wilson sit side by side, looking at the camera

From Camera Lucida:
The incapacity to name is a good symptom of disturbance. Mapplethorpe has photographed Robert Wilson and Philip Glass. Wilson holds me, though I cannot say why, i.e., say where: is it the eyes, the skin, the position of the hands, the track shoes? The effect is certain but unlocatable, it does not find its sign, its name; it is sharp and yet lands in a vague zone of myself; it is acute yet muffled, it cries out in silence. Odd contradiction: a floating flash.

Like his friend Francis Cadell, John Maclauchlan Milne saw the landscape of Iona in terms of pure colour. His paintings of the island (this is c1937) use a palette of bright greens, pinks, blues and mauve with touches of yellow, to capture the light.
