I’m beginning to really understand beauty and how I unconsciously praise it in others and the more that I think about it, the more I’m angered by it. I’m thankful for reading and writing because it makes things really small and you have to pay attention to the world when you are a writer. No wonder every writer under the sun is immensely exhausted lol, It reminds me of what Susan Sontag said:
And I also think about what Joan Didion said in The Center Will Not Hold about how when she analyzed something, she was no longer afraid of it. I know that people generally say that you shouldn’t overthink or look too deeply into things but I feel writers have to fall right into those things in order to feel OK and feel some sort of clarity.
“Thomas Boleyn became ambassador to France in January 1519, and it is possible that George spent some time in France as a child with his father when Thomas was on embassy.”
“The Pope is governed by the Emperor, and the Italian divines will support his authority. They are dissatisfied with the Emperor’s conduct in Italy, for he has pleased his enemies, and done nothing for his friends. There is great dissension between the Spaniards and the Almains. If the Emperor should fall out with the French king, I think the former would seek to you. When I go to France I shall learn more. I keep with me Alexander, the messenger. Lyons, morrow of St. George’s Day.”
