Unsheathe your dagger definitions. Horseness is the whatness of allhorse. (James Joyce, Ulysses)

A swarthy boy opened a book and propped it nimbly under the breastwork of his satchel. He recited jerks of verse with odd glances at the text:

Weep no more, woful shepherd, weep no more
For Lycidas, your sorrow, is not dead,
Sunk though he be beneath the watery floor...

It must be a movement then, an actuality of the possible as possible. Aristotle's phrase* formed itself within the gabbled verses and floated out into the studious silence of the library of Saint Genevieve where he had read, sheltered from the sin of Paris, night by night. By his elbow a delicate Siamese conned a handbook of strategy. Fed and feeding brains about me: under glowlamps, impaled, with faintly beating feelers: and in my mind's darkness a sloth of the underworld, reluctant, shy of brightness, shifting her dragon scaly folds. Thought is the thought of thought. Tranquil brightness. The soul is in a manner all that is: the soul is the form of forms. Tranquillity sudden, vast, candescent: form of forms.

James Joyce, Ulysses (Nestor p.26)

* "It follows that the soul is analogous to the hand; for as the hand is a tool of tools, so the mind is the form of forms and sense the form of sensible things." [Aristotle : On the Soul, Book III, Part 8]

whatness of allhorse = horseness

an actuality of the possible as possible = a movement

thought of thought = thought

form of forms = soul

analog of the hand = soul

tool of tools = hand

form of forms = mind

form of sensible things = sense

Tethers of TAR

The work is not signed by the artist, but it bears numerous inscriptions, seals and signatures from its subsequent owners — including the seals of the Southern Tang emperor Li Yu, the Song theorist Mi Fu, and the Qianlong Emperor — show that it passed through the hands of many collectors over the following 1,200 years.

The original drawing, some 12 inches (30 cm) square, was later mounted on a 20 feet (6.1 m) long handscroll to provide sufficient space for the seals and inscriptions.

It later came into the collection of Sir Percival David, and was bought by the Metropolitan Museum in 1977, funded by the Dillon Fund.

The Perfect Collection

The Macallan 1926 Fine & Rare 60 Year Old currently holds the world record for the most expensive bottle of whisky ever sold. It is widely regarded as the pinnacle in rare whisky collecting, with scarcely any having experienced the satisfaction and pleasure of owning a bottle so unique and of unparalleled reputation.

The Macallan 1926 Fine and Rare 60 Year Old will be available within the second part sale of The Perfect Collection by Mr. Gooding along with an incredible selection of sought-after vintages from the Fine & Rare series. If you would like to take part and share in this historic occasion, please keep an eye out for updates on when The Perfect Collection: Part Two will take place in 2021.

Our staff are not whiskey drinkers. It's the above article's carefully composed photo of the whiskey connoisseur

David Cox in formal regard that engages our own finer appreciation : this classic TAR subject-light-object and its complex composition detail.

Above the provided eyeline is a row of five evenly-spaced white light spheres, each with a golden circle-of-circles equaTAR. see : binary-world lighting systems.

These lights lead our attention toward a heavy curtain. It is open just enough to reveal another golden circle divider bordering a round mirror into which the front-of-house orbs plunge in reflection. And in there, a blurry posture of regard.

It directs our focus back out to its sharper source.

The formal actor sees a different scene to the one we see. He beholds a white gloved HAND SPACE display, akin, say, to a white cube exhibition of an On Kawara painting.

Perfect whisky collection sells for over $9 million at auction

Sold!

Sotheby's recently auctioned Sandro Botticelli's 1480

'Young Man Holding a Roundel'.

We like that work very much, the round and rectangular formalities, the staged depth, the two diverting outward gazers, and more. Here, though, we're interested in two of Sotheby's own images. The Image is Shown to the Crowd and The Kill.

First, House Supporters (their mouths COVID covered) [~~LOGOS~~, the muffled Speaking into Being of the Image] display the Image to the breath-masked mob. Behold!

Scene two, The Kill, in which the determinaTAR poses in collage, ready for the money shot.

In his hands, his Instruments of the Passion.

We recognise his pose and the godly lineage proposed. Descendant of Zeus, the god of the sky, lightning and thunder, ruler of all the gods on Mount Olympus. If not the sky god, then it is Poseidon, god of the See. Poised, ready to project his thunderbolt (Zeus) or trident (Poseidon).
