From the back cover:
“The author of GRAND HOTEL brings you , , , AN EXCITING MODERN NOVEL.”
“Writing beautifully, in the swift tempo of life in New York today, Vicki Baum achieves in ‘Mortgage on Life’ what many will consider her most satisfying story since ‘Grand Hotel.’
“When her room-mate and friend, alluring and starry-eyed Marylynn, captured the man she secretly loved, Bess resigned herself to a lifetime of sacrifice . . . except that she couldn’t control her emotions as easily as she thought.
“How these three – Bess, Marylynn, and the brilliant young composer both women loved – moved up the glittering roadway of fame on The Great White Way, only to find that fate had brought them far along other roads as well . . . makes this a never-to-be-forgotten story replete with Vicky Baum’s pathos, dramatic power and insight into the lives of men and women of passion.
“To her millions of readers, Vicki Baum is known as the beloved authoress of ‘Grand Hotel,’ ‘Backstage,’ ‘Once in Vienna,’ ‘Tale of Bali’ and numerous other romances that capture, with charm and pathos, the lives of the glamorous men and women of the world. Austrian-born, Miss Baum for a time resided in this country. She will win hosts of new admirers with this publication of ‘Mortgage of Life.’”
Der interessante Bogenschütze ist eigentlich ein Ehrenmal für die gefallenen Flaksoldaten des ersten Weltkriegs. Das Flakregiment 12 wurde im 2. Weltkrieg nach Stalingrad abkommandiert und ist dort untergegangen. Deshalb wurde das Ehrenmal von Überlebenden auch auf Gefallene des 2. Krieges ausgeweitet.
Die Ausformung als Bogenschütze ist eine ausgefallene Idee, die mit erfreulich wenig Pathos auskommt.
Ah che beltá i nuvoloni....
Così carichi di pathos. Incombenti, maestosi.
Quanto senso di tragico aggiungono ai nostri scatti.
Ma....
Cari nuvoloni è il 31 maggio e avete rotto i Coglioni!!!
This is the large Christain Orthodox church near to the harbour in Pathos. Unfortunately this church stayed locked for 90% of the time and opened only fleetingly for services and weddings. I never managed to catch it open, but I did get the feeling from a few people around the immediate area, that the church authorites would not allow pictures inside anyways....unless you were shooting a wedding.
A Siren holds a cithara in one hand and raises her right arm above her head in the classic gesture of lamentation. Her expression, one of profound melancholy and pathos, befits her role as a funerary offering and grave good in a tomb from Canosa.
The allure of the Sirens lies not only in their deadly feminine beauty (Hellenistic imagery depicts them exercising their charms, gazing into a mirror, or trying on a necklace) but also in their voices and songs. They inhabit an island at the edge of the world, in the West, near the gates of Hades. With their high, clear singing, they lure sailors, cause their ships to founder against rocky shores, and devour them. Their musical gifts and association with death transformed the Sirens into the "Muses of the Beyond." They are virginal singers, professional mourners in the service of the gods of the underworld. Their words signify both death and life, serving as both a funeral dirge and an enduring testament to the glory of the deceased.
Here, this hybrid creature is envisioned as a "Muse of the Beyond," a virginal singer, and a professional mourner. As a guardian of the tomb, she watches over the sleeper; as an enamored abductor, she eagerly awaits her victims; as a diligent guide, she transports souls to the realm of shadows; as a spirit of privileged knowledge and a dangerous temptress, she offers the immortality of fame. A mourner and singer of póthos (longing), the Siren stands as one of the most haunting images of death and the journey to the afterlife.
Quite a bit of her original pigments survive - pale pink flesh, blue wings, vivid pink chiton, reddish-brown hair, etc.
Greek, 320-300 BCE, from Canosa, Italy.

I took a number of photographs of this guy at a festival in Tynemouth down river from Newcastle upon Tyne. I found this guy very sad but also sinister and horrific at the same time. I know at the time that I thought he would be great in a horror film. I made the shot black and white to emphasise the make up but also the lived in look of the clowns face.

Knidos (Cnidus)
Ancient City, Turkey
Written By: The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
See Article History
Cnidus, ancient Greek city on the Carian Chersonese, on the southwest coast of Anatolia. The city was an important commercial centre, the home of a famous medical school, and the site of the observatory of the astronomer Eudoxus. Cnidus was one of six cities in the Dorian Hexapolis and hosted the Dorian games every four years. The Cnidians claimed they were of Spartan origin.
First founded on the southern coast of the Reşadiye peninsula, it was moved in c. 330 bc to Deveboynu Burnu (Cape Kriyo), where a small island was artificially joined to the mainland. One of the two harbours thus created served ships of war, the other merchant shipping. Cnidus founded colonies on Lipara, north of Sicily, and at Black Corcyra (modern Korčula, Croatia) in the Adriatic Sea.
After a vain attempt to convert their peninsula into an island, the Cnidians submitted to the Persians soon after 546 bc; they supported Athens in the Delian League against Persia but revolted against Athens in 412. Cnidus became a democracy in the 4th century bc and was under Ptolemaic control in the 3rd century. It was a free city within the Roman province of Asia, enduring until the 7th century ad, when it was abandoned.
C.T. Newton, excavating the site in 1857–59, found a marble statue of the seated Demeter there. Later excavation revealed the axial plan of the ancient city, a few private dwellings, and numerous public buildings. The most significant of these is the Temple of Aphrodite, a circular Doric temple, excavated by Iris C. Love in 1970. At this site Love found the marble base and fragments of the famous statue of Aphrodite sculpted by Praxiteles in the 4th century bc. The statue, one of the most celebrated in classical antiquity, was purchased by the people of Cnidus after the citizens of the Cos had rejected it on account of its nudity.

DEMETER FROM KNIDOS
The sculpture of Demeter, found in her sanctuary at Knidos in 1858, was first recorded in modern times by English travelers in 1812. The inherent pathos of the figure – the deep-set eyes and other facial characteristics – is often associated with works of the 4th century BCE. sculptor Skopas. However, the work is also often attributed to other sculptors, and some sources date the origin of the work to later centuries.
Here, Demeter is shown seated on a throne - the back part and arm-rails have broken away and are missing. Her lower arms and hands are also lost, though she probably once held a libation bowl or torch. The head was carved separately from the body and socketed into the neck. Demeter is portrayed as a model of Greek womanhood - serene, mature, motherly and modestly veiled. It is speculated that the piece may have originally been accompanied by a standing figure, presumably Persephone. It is also speculated that weary in her search, she sits alone.
Historical Context:
The Sanctuary of Demeter at Knidos was laid out at about the same time as the re-founding of the city, around 350 BCE. The sanctuary consisted of a long platform terraced into the side of an acropolis, with spectacular views of the city below and the sea beyond. Many votive sculptures were once displayed within the sanctuary. Most of these survive only as fragments, but this cult statue of Demeter herself is remarkably intact.

This is not and was not my home. I didn't touch anything, but I was on my self designed *tour* of chimneys that were oftentimes all that was still left of houses and homes. They were often like sentinels guarding over rubble and ruin. I started an album just for them. One of the chimneys mentioned was nearby where I also spotted these steps. I said to myself, "Oh good; I belong to some stairs and steps type groups too!" When I zoomed in on the steps, I saw the pet dishes. There was rainy, dirty water in them, not fresh food.
I have no idea if they were there before the recent Holiday Farm/McKenzie Fire that destroyed so many homes, and maybe that was just where the people usually fed their pets. Or, the thought hit me later, that some of the people who attempted animal rescues AFTER the fact, may have put them them hoping to lure frightened pets out of hiding so they could be rescued. I just don't know, I do know I felt some real pathos.
My daughter and granddaughter lost their home too, but this was not their home. Also, they happened to not have any pets at this time. You have to know, though, with very little warning (the phones reached most people late at night), and out of a series of 3 alerts increasing in emergency and urgency, the fire had begun and really increased so rapidly that all anyone got was a Code 3. Code 3 says basically "Don't gather up Anything! Just GET OUT NOW! Some people could take their tame and small pets in their vehicle with them. But I imagine gathering up or rounding up frightened pets that had hidden, or run off in fear, or horses that required trailering, was an additional nightmare for some.

Human pathos piling around my feet, mixing in
history’s fetid debris,
rendering impossible, demarcations of the border
dividing truth and what is not and
what matters and what does not.
Then desperation resonates
in a past message from a place or
vision or a convergence of both
trapped in my films so out of context
in the moment of experience,
I failed to see
what was told in
what I was seeing.
Later (decades) I find
myself digging for
film with the message suddenly a source of
wisdom boiling in the mud
of memory.
Laying hold as on lost treasure
then some angel with a
burning coal approaches or
in this case, on that far shore of
this river where the banks are crowded and narrow,
standing there, an empty
quivered, brown skin Indian
holds a broken arrow.
Apparently, all my anger is wasted.

..grandfather, Chesapeake Bay 1984, in the galley of his cabin cruiser (Weekend Fever, on which I spent many a summers day).. he was a purple 💜 recipient from ww2, Normandy, and would actually pass on later that year from complications of emphysema.
He taught me how to drive a stick (3- on-the-tree manual transmission) and would shag pop flies and ground balls for me-- til I got it right (and made the high school baseball team)!
Many fond memories....

Deutsche Kriegsgräberstätte La Cambe, hier ruhen mehr als 21.000 deutsche Soldaten, die im Zweiten Weltkrieg gefallen sind.
Ein ganz anderer Friedhof als der der Amerikaner. Ohne Pathos, eher bedrückend. Jedes Grab ist eine Ermahnung zum Frieden.

On my way down to see Everest, we stopped by one of Tibet's three largest sacred lake - Yamdrok. The lake is so long that is seems more like a river. It has a huge mountainous island in the middle surrounded by turquoise water. There was a little house near the edge of the water that caught my eye as we were driving by. All throughout the long ride, I kept asking my driver to make frequent stops so that I could jump out and take pictures. At one point I noticed he started getting a little annoyed that I kept asking him to stop, so I made sure to take his lunch box with me as an "insurance measure". Hey, you have to do whatever it takes to keep from getting stranded in the middle of Tibet. I don't know how to hunt Yack so I would not last long ...
...(démolie par la suite). Enlevée par les Français, elle reviendra à Anvers en 1815 pour occuper l'année suivante une place centrale dans la Cathédrale.
Après son séjour de 8 ans en Italie, Rubens introduit avec cette Érection de la Croix l'art baroque aux Pays-Bas. Ce chef-d'oeuvre plein de drame et de pathos, d'un aspect cohérent et harmonieux, frappe par sa force tourbillonnante et son dynamisme. La composition diagonale du panneau centrale (460x340 cm) représente les neuf bourreaux qui conjuguent leurs efforts pour dresser la croix sur laquelle est cloué le Christ. Rubens illustre ici, dans une beauté cruelle et de façon remarquablement expressive, voire impétueuse, ce thème rarement représenté par ailleurs.
ENGLISH :
The Erection of the Cross, triptych, oil on panel, Peter Paul Rubens. He made this painting in 1609-1610, at an age near to the age of the crucified Christ. This colossal work was originally part of the main altar of the St. Walburghe church (demolished later). Removed by the French, it will return to Antwerp in 1815 to occupy the following year a central place in the Cathedral.
After his stay of 8 years in Italy, Rubens introduced, with the Erection of the Cross, Baroque art in the Netherlands. This masterpiece full of drama and pathos, of a consistent and harmonious appearance, strikes by its swirling strength and dynamism. The diagonal composition of the central panel (460x340 cm) represents the nine executioners who are working together to draw up the cross on which Christ is nailed. Rubens shows here in a cruel beauty and in such a remarkably expressive and even impetuous way, this theme rarely depicted elsewhere.

You have to hand it to the Chinese ... they know how to built ridiculously cool structures. This is the National Center for the Performing Arts (a.k.a. The Egg) situated in Beijing, near Tienanmen Square. I can just imagine how the planning meeting must have gone:
Chinese Official: We would like for you to design for us a hyper-modern structure of considerable proportions and extreme opulence.
Architect: How about a 12,000 square meter space egg surrounded by water?
Chinese Official: Will it be smooth, shiny and visible from space?
Architect: Yes, I think we can manage that.
Chinese Official: Deal!
I only got to walk around the perimeter, but The Egg is truly impressive not only in sheer size, but the amazing architecture and details. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be inside.
