The covers of this book are too far apart.
Ambrose Bierce
Reading two pages apiece of seven books every night, eh? I was young. You bowed to yourself in the mirror, stepping forward to applause earnestly, striking face. Hurray for the Goddamned idiot! Hray! No-one saw: tell no-one. Books you were going to write with letters for titles. Have you read his F? O yes, but I prefer Q. Yes, but W is wonderful. O yes, W. Remember your epiphanies on green oval leaves, deeply deep, copies to be sent if you died to all the great libraries of the world, including Alexandria? Someone was to read them there after a few thousand years, a mahamanvantara. Pico della Mirandola like. Ay, very like a whale. When one reads these strange pages of one long gone one feels that one is at one with one who once...

Ulysses “Proteus”
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.
The Waste Land
T. S. Eliot
But words are things, and a small drop of ink,Falling like dew, upon a thought, producesThat which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.

Final SHIP length: Exactly 100 studs
SHIP Bio: The A.F. Ulysses has wandered the universe for as long as anyone can remember, seeking to deliver its mysterious cargo. It has always been piloted and defended by one man, and has never been boarded.
One of a number of first day cover postcards with stamp, can't recall how many, from 2003.
Occurs on N Queensland coast and north into New Guinea, Timor Leste and Indonesia.
Ulysses (in romanian Ulise)-the unseen and mythological character.
Ulițe (in english narrow streets who usually cross a village) - the dominant theme, only thing seen returning home.
The Ulysses Return, or going home - my modern and modest version of a great archetypal state of mind.
Thank you!

An actor poses as General Ulysses S. Grant of the United States Army at a Civil War enactment event at Camp Nelson, Kentucky. The real General Grant came to Camp Nelson nearly a hundred and fifty years ago. He assessed that the camp was logistically situated poorly as a distribution center in the U.S. military's supply chain.
Grant went to war against military strategists who graduated from the same military school, West Point, with better rankings than his. The leaders of his enemies attended the same lectures, studied the same military textbooks, and had fought in the same wars. Criticized for being too unconventional and ruthless in military action, Grant once pointed out the virtues of those vices. "If men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail," he said. The under-appreciated general, an unassuming low-key Ohioan, was full of military surprises that caught his enemies off guard time and time again.
Grant, who was skilled in mathematics and supply chain logistics, was regarded by peers, opponents and newspapers as ruthless. Where his colleagues, such as General George B. McLellan, might disengage and rest, Grant believed that the best strategy was a strong offense. "In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins," he once said.
During the course of the Civil War, Confederate army after Confederate army after army surrendered to the plain-looking, cigar-smoking general from the midwest.

Door of the original (1938) half of Bank of Canada complex on Wellington Street in Ottawa. The door, made of cast bronze with images of ancient Greek coins, was designed by American sculptor Ulysses Ricci. The building itself (started and finished by different architects) is made of grey granite from Quebec in a neoclassical style.
