Marginalia in a 1556 edition of Aristotle's Physics in the hand of James Harris (1709-1780), English politician, grammarian, and philosopher, best known for his work Hermes, a philosophical inquiry concerning universal grammar.

Training myself to draw has been an interesting exercise. I studied the workds of Nicolas de Crecy, the Rat Rod artists, Stephan Marjoram, R.Crumb, S.Clay Wilson and many others. While I certainly will never develop the kind of talent they had, this has been a good way to "kill time" during the various periods of lockdown here in France during the Covid Pandemic.

White Lady White Powder
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1980
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dust settles on a thin cloud
Sends a fog drifting to a worn out crowd
I've had my face in a mirror for twenty four hours
Staring at a line of white powder
High-priced madness pays the tab
I've scraped too much of nothing from your plastic bag
I'm a catatonic son of a bitch who's had
A touch too much of white powder
And she's a habit I can't handle
For a reason I can't say
I'm in love with a wild white lady
She's as sweet as the stories say
White powder white lady
You're one and the same
Come on down to my house won't you
And hit this boy again
Shock waves to a tired brain
Sends that hungry lady to my door again
She's my shelter from the storm when I feel the rain
Entertaining white powder
I feel I'm dry-docked and tongue-tied
Heaven sends a stretcher for the kids to ride
I might just escape while the others might die
Riding on a high of white powder

"Ten little Indians
Stand in a row
Of me there are many
So how would I know
That she was only one woman
Only one woman
And I've got a picture
Of the woman I love
Who sees my lonely face?
Who sees my shame
Nobody in the place
Could tell me her name
'Cause she was only one woman
Only one woman
And I've got a picture
Of the woman I love
Ten little Indians
Now there are none
Of me there are many
And love still goes on
'Cause she was only one woman
Only one woman
And I've got a picture
Of the woman I love
Well, she was only one woman
Only one woman
And I've got a picture
Of the woman I love
She's that woman, I love her so
Don't let it die, don't let it die
I've been lovin' you, been a lovin' you just a little too long
I love her
Oh God, don't go, don't go, oh please..."

Dr. John Watson: What're you talking about, "you're busy?" You don't have a case. A minute ago you were complaining...
Sherlock: " Bluebell, John! I've got Bluebell, the case of the vanishing glow-in-the-dark rabbit. NATO's in uproar."
*Thinking about the BBC Series, Sherlock (in particular the episode involving Bluebell the rabbit) and messing about with Noodler's General of the Armies, green ink...on Zeta paper from Stillman & Birn. Gosh but this ink is fascinating...
