The Monday Morning Memo

Images that depict the arrival of the Magi,
the wise men, the wise-ards, speak of that moment of arrival,
the completion of a journey, the moment of happy discovery.
The wise men speak archetypally of following a vision, a dream, a star.

This framed, French tapestry is 5 ft. tall, 4 ft. wide,
and was 
inspired by a 1624 painting by Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) that hangs in Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, in Antwerp, Belgium. 

You remember the line from The Quest,
better known as The Impossible Dream, in which Don Quixote says,
“This is my quest: to follow that star,
no matter how hopeless, no matter how far…” 
You can listen below if you want to hear it.
(Yes, I know I’ve shown you this video a dozen times.
But I like it. And I think maybe you like it, too.)

Random Quote:

“He sat on the couch in his robe as the room filled with the odor of his unfinished breakfast and as the minutes dismantled the hours. In the early afternoon, he heard one of the chambermaids pushing her linen-laden trolley down the hallway, knocking on doors. When she knocked on his, he fully intended to send her on her way. But when he realized it was Bridie, from force of habit he invited her in.”

- Amor Towles, Table for Two, p. 258 "Eve in Hollywood"
