All the misfortune of my life—I don't wish to complain, but to make a generally instructive remark—derives, one could say, from letters or from the possibility of writing letters. People have hardly ever deceived me, but letters always—and as a matter of fact not only those of other people, but my own. In my case this is a special misfortune of which I won't say more, but at the same time also a general one. The easy possibility of letter writing must—seen merely theoretically—have brought into the world a terrible disintegration of souls. It is, in fact, an intercourse with ghosts, and not only with the ghost of the recipient but also with one's own ghost, which develops between the lines of the letter one is writing and even more so in a series of letters where one letter corroborates the other and can refer to it as a witness. How on earth did anyone get the idea that people can communicate with one another by letter! Of a distant person one can think, and of a person who is near one can catch hold—all else goes beyond human strength.

19th March 2010

I visited the new shops that has opened in town today (big deal for my small town!). I got this lovely skirt from New Look though, I wore it for work and all of my colleagues said I looked lovely, which was rather nice.

LC-USZC6-77: King Cotton. Cartoon shows "a skinny old king with hair and beard of cotton, a huge oversize crown on his head, a whip in his hand, sitting on his throne, while African American slaves bring him cool drinks and female slaves fan him. Britannia and Napoleon III prostrate themselves before him and deposit their crowns at his feet--a reminder that during the Civil War the governments and manufacturing interests in some European states, dependent on Southern cotton, had sided with the Confederacy. The base of the dais is inscribed "Slavery." In the elaborate ornamentation around the throne the repeated "C.S.A." is of course "Confederate States of America." The S's and C's are copperheads. The crocodiles in the proscenium arch refer to the National Union Convention of 1866, an attempt to unite conservatives of both parties, North and South, behind the President's policies. At the opening, Governor Orr of South Carolina and general Couch of Massachusetts and entered arm-in-arm ... The throne-room is crowded with militant leaders of the Confederacy, shown as knights in armor, heavily burlesqued. ..." Artwork Thomas Nast, 1867. Courtesy of the Library of Congress.
