The image features a grayscale portrait of philosopher David Hume against a faded background of large text and an old book page. A blue horizontal banner across the center reads the promotional text: “Exploration of the intellectual, cultural, commercial intersections between Scotland and the Netherlands during the Enlightenment.” On the right, the cover of the book is displayed. Along the bottom are the logos of Liverpool University Press, the Oxford University Studies in the Enlightenment series, and the Voltaire Foundation.

Instead of the Sunday newspapers, I think I'll read Endgame by Beckett. Same difference. “Then one day, suddenly, it ends, it changes, I don’t understand, it dies, or it’s me, I don’t understand that either. I ask the words that remain sleeping, waking, morning, evening. They have nothing to say.”

POSSESSION; even better than remembered. To be cuckolded by god/ to escape the terror of men by sleeping with god, only to find god fashioned in the image of man. Isabelle Adjani's performance is genuinely one of the greatest ever put to film, you can feel her communing with her very soul.

Still from Possession; a statue of Christ on the cross, seen from below, his eyes closed in suffering.
