rust and stardust

“ Forget stardust—you are iron. Your blood is nothing but ferrous liquid. When you bleed, you reek of rust. It is iron that fills your heart and sits in your veins. And what is iron, really, unless it’s forged? You are iron. And you are strong. ”

You are a fever I am learning to live with, and everything is happening at the wrong end of a very long tunnel.

The word “eclipse” comes from ancient Greek ekleipsis, “a forsaking, quitting, abandonment.” The sun quits us, we are forsaken by light.

We miss our collections, so this month we are revisiting a few favorites from the archive. 

Friendship albums first became popular in the United States in the 1820s, and were especially popular among young people. This album, compiled by Margaret Williams, includes a few wonderful examples of woven hair art made from locks of hair from her closest friends. In this time of social distancing, these cherished and sentimental odes to friendship seem especially poignant.
