#2332 - 2014 Day 140: Here's a quote to back up something I have believed and said, in my own way, for a long time.
"As I progressed further with my project, it became obvious that it was really unimportant where I chose to photograph."

Quotation from William Wordsworth's "To A Snow-drop"
LONE Flower, hemmed in with snows and white as they
But hardier far, once more I see thee bend
Thy forehead, as if fearful to offend,
Like an unbidden guest. Though day by day,
Storms, sallying from the mountain-tops, waylay
The rising sun, and on the plains descend;
Yet art thou welcome, welcome as a friend
Whose zeal outruns his promise! Blue-eyed May
Shall soon behold this border thickly set
With bright jonquils, their odours lavishing
On the soft west-wind and his frolic peers;
Nor will I then thy modest grace forget,
Chaste Snowdrop, venturous harbinger of Spring,
And pensive monitor of fleeting years!
From Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer -- unintentional hilarity in the Traveller's temptation of Stanton.
About 5x7", once over on 32ct; the pattern for the border can be found here.

This quotation comes from the Ontario math curriculum and points out, for me, that math instruction needs to be investigative. If math teachers simply teach concept after concept until the next unit test, the students will only remember the material until the next unit test.
But if students are challenged by a real life problem, that needs to be investigated and the math needed to solve the problem needs to be understood to help, then deeper understanding would occur.

Under Nicolae Ceausescu Blandiana's writings were banned after a "seditious" poem she wrote about the dictator: "Motanul Arpagic" (Tom Cat Onion)...
After 1990 she was active in the "Alianta Civica" which helped bring to the fore the first democratic government in Romania (1996-2000).
Below is one of Blandiana's ""engaged" poems about the status of women under communism:
“An entire people,
Not yet born,
But condemned to birth,
In columns before birth
Foetus beside foetus,
An entire people,
Which does not see, does not hear, does not understand,
But moves forward.
Through writhing bodies of women,
Through the blood of mothers
Unconsulted.”
(Ana Blandiana, The Children’s Crusade, 1984)

Quotation from Bullock's Cycle Stores to supply new bicycle for park lands ranger 16 June 1924 - Reference TCDKT1924/1647
The Postcard
A postally unused Valentine's Phototype postcard that was published and printed in Great Britain.
On the back of the card the publishers have printed:
'Let us all strive without
failing in faith or in duty'.
The quotation is from a speech by Winston Churchill that was broadcast by the BBC on the 14th. July 1940. The speech calls to arms men from every country to fight Nazism, and runs as follows:
'This is no war of chieftains or of princes,
of dynasties or national ambition; it is a war
of peoples and of causes.
There are vast numbers, not only in this
island but in every land, who will render
faithful service in this war but whose names
will never be known, whose deeds will never
be recorded.
This is a war of the Unknown Warriors; but
let all strive without failing in faith or in duty,
and the dark curse of Hitler will be lifted from
our age.'
Valentine also give some information about Cheapside:
'Cheapside - A typical London
street showing a steady stream
of traffic.
The church spire on the right is
that of Bow, of Bow Bells fame.
The home of the true London
Cockney.'
Cheapside
Cheapside is a street in the City of London, the historic and modern financial centre of London, which forms part of the London to Fishguard road. It links St. Martin's Le Grand with Poultry.
Near its eastern end at Bank Junction, where it becomes Poultry, is Mansion House, the Bank of England, and Bank Station. To the west is St. Paul's Cathedral, St Paul's station and Square.
In the Middle Ages, it was known as Westcheap, as opposed to Eastcheap, another street in the City, near London Bridge.
The contemporary Cheapside is widely known as the location of a range of retail and food outlets and offices, as well as the City's only major shopping centre, One New Change.
Cheapside is a common English street name, meaning "market place", from Old English ceapan, "to buy." There was originally no connection to the modern meaning of cheap ("low price"), although by the 18th. century this association may have begun to be inferred.
Cheapside is the former site of one of the principal produce markets of London. Many of the streets feeding into the main thoroughfare are named after the produce that was once sold in those areas of the market, including Honey Lane, Milk Street, Bread Street and Poultry.
In medieval times, the royal processional route from the Tower of London to the Palace of Westminster included Cheapside. During state occasions such as the first entry of Margaret of France (second wife of King Edward I), into London in September 1299, the conduits of Cheapside flowed with wine.
During the reign of Edward III in the 14th. century, tournaments were held in adjacent fields. The dangers were, however, not limited to the participants: a wooden stand built to accommodate Queen Philippa and her companions collapsed during a tournament to celebrate the birth of the Black Prince in 1330. No one died, but the King was greatly displeased, and the stand's builders would have been put to death but for the Queen's intercession.
On the day preceding her coronation, in January 1559, Elizabeth I passed through a number of London streets in a pre-coronation procession and was entertained by a number of pageants, including one in Cheapside.
Meat was brought in to Cheapside from Smithfield market, just outside Newgate. After the great Church of St. Michael-le-Querne, the top end of the street broadened into a dual carriageway known as the Shambles (referring to an open-air slaughterhouse and meat market), with butcher shops on both sides and a dividing central area also containing butchers.
Further down, on the right, was Goldsmiths Row, an area of commodity dealers. From the 14th. century to the Great Fire, the eastern end of Cheapside was the location of the Great Conduit.
Cheapside Literary Connections
Geoffrey Chaucer grew up around Cheapside, and there are a scattering of references to the thoroughfare and its environs throughout his work. The first chapter of Peter Ackroyd's Brief Lives series on Chaucer also colourfully describes the street at that time.
Cheapside was the birthplace of John Milton and Robert Herrick. It was for a long time one of the most important streets in London. It is also the site of the 'Bow Bells', which played a part in the tale of Dick Whittington.
William Shakespeare used Cheapside as the setting for several bawdy scenes in Henry IV, Part I. A reference to it is also made in Henry VI, Part II, in a speech by the rebel Jack Cade:
"All the realm shall be in common; and
in Cheapside shall my palfrey go to grass".
Thomas Middleton's play A Chaste Maid in Cheapside (1613) both satirises and celebrates the citizens of the neighbourhood during the Renaissance, when the street hosted the city's goldsmiths.
William Wordsworth, in his 1797 poem The Reverie of Poor Susan, imagines a naturalistic Cheapside of past:
"And a river flows on through
the vale of Cheapside."
Jane Austen, in her 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice, characterises Cheapside as a London neighbourhood
frowned upon by the landed elite:
"I think I have heard you say that their
uncle is an attorney in Meryton."
"Yes; and they have another, who lives
somewhere near Cheapside."
"That is capital," added her sister, and
they both laughed heartily.
"If they had uncles enough to fill all
Cheapside," cried Bingley, "it would not
make them one jot less agreeable."
"But it must very materially lessen their
chance of marrying men of any
consideration in the world," replied Darcy.
Charles Dickens Jr. wrote in his 1879 book Dickens's Dictionary of London:
"Cheapside remains now what it was five centuries
ago, the greatest thoroughfare in the City of London.
Other localities have had their day, have risen, become
fashionable, and have sunk into obscurity and neglect,
but Cheapside has maintained its place, and may boast
of being the busiest thoroughfare in the world, with the
sole exception perhaps of London-bridge."
Hugh Lofting's book Doctor Dolittle, published in 1951, names a quarrelsome London sparrow with a Cockney accent Cheapside. He lives most of the year in St. Edmund's left ear in St. Paul's Cathedral, and is invited to the African country of Fantippo to deliver mail to cities because the other birds are not able to navigate city streets.
Cheapside is also depicted in Rosemary Sutcliff's 1951 children's historical novel The Armourer's House, along with other parts of Tudor London.
In a more contemporary treatment, the Cheapside of the Middle Ages was referenced in a derogatory sense in the 2001 movie A Knight's Tale as being the poor, unhealthy and low-class birthplace and home of the unlikely hero.
Nineteenth century Cheapside is presented as the home of Mary "Jacky" Faber in Bloody Jack by L. A. Meyer.
Additionally, Cheapside is depicted as a major setting in the bestselling novel by Maria McCann, As Meat Loves Salt, a historical feature set against the English Civil War.
William Gibson's mystery novel The Peripheral depicts a 22nd.-century Cheapside converted to a Victorian-era cosplay zone where only 19th. century costume is allowed.
Contemporary Cheapside
Cheapside today is a street of offices and retail outlets. It can no longer be described as "the busiest thoroughfare in the world," and although busy, is instead simply one of many routes connecting the East End and the City of London with the West End.
Cheapside was extensively damaged during The Blitz in late 1940 and particularly during the Second Great Fire of London. Much of the rebuilding following these raids occurred during the 1950's and 1960's, and included a number of unsympathetic contemporary attempts at recreating the centuries-old architecture that had been destroyed.
In recent years many of these buildings have themselves been demolished as a programme of regeneration takes place along Cheapside from Paternoster Square to Poultry.
Cheapside formed part of the marathon course of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The women's Olympic marathon took place on the 5th. August and the men's Olympic marathon took place on the 12th. August. The four Paralympic marathons were held on the 9th. September.
The manner we find each other so irresistible
Makes it very sad to be sometimes so apart
During my sleep I often feel your present touch,
and my deep thoughts are always in your heart.

Quotation Graphic for Martin Luther King Day 2015. Quotation by Martin Luther King Jr. from address at Western Michigan University 1963. Photo adapted from a 1966 White House Press office photo by Yoichi R. Okamoto.
"It may be true that morality cannot be legislated, behavior can be regulated. It may be true that the law cannot change the heart but it can restrain the heartless. It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me but it can keep him from lynching me and I think that is pretty important, also."
"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. -- Albert Einstein
Take a deep breath, it calms the mind.
Only 10 minutes easy walk from my home is a peaceful and un-spoilt natural wetland, bush reserve. It is situated right in the middle of one of Masterton's residential area and at a busy road junction.
Except for the background traffic sound, one could be in the middle of our bush, miles form anywhere.
It only takes 10 minutes ( 1 hour with a camera) to walk around this wild-life paradise, but the native trees, grasses and birds to be seen are intense.
Quotation from Samuel Taylor Coleridge, possibly in the hand of Robert Ellis Thompson, 1844-1924

Quotation from Chairman Mao: We must still run colleges. Here I must stress that we should still run physics and engineering colleges, but the period of schooling ought to be shortened, the education revolutionized, proletarian politics put in command, and the way of training technical personnel from the ranks of the workers advocated by the Shanghai Machine-Tool Factory adopted. Students must be selected from workers and peasants with practical experience, and after their study at school for several years they should return to practical production.
