Soir d'hiver à Baie-Saint-Paul - Albert Henry Robinson, 1933
Reblogged intactics
“When we say cliché, stereotype, trite pseudoelegant phrase, and so on, we imply, among other things, that when used for the first time in literature the phrase was original and had a vivid meaning. In fact, it became hackneyed because its meaning was at first vivid and neat, and attractive, and so the phrase was used over and over again until it became a stereotype, a cliché. We can thus define clichés as bits of dead prose and of rotting poetry.”
— Vladimir Nabokov drops this brilliant bit of insight roughly half way through his lecture on James Joyce’s Ulysses, the last of his in Lectures on Literature.

So beautiful, so relaxing.

No object is good or bad by itself, it all depends on the use you give to it. The same stone that was used to kill was also used to scratch art on the walls of caves. Something very similar is happening with the internet nowadays. Technology is becoming our natural predator.
