The Book of the Hidden _ a · s · Byatt (7th Dec 22 at 2:51am UTC)
Tianzhi Building is filled with all kinds of rare treasures collected by my grandfather and great-grandfather. Although there is no specific standard in the process of collection, the direction of collection is to see whether the objects are rare or whether there is a special additional meaning, that is, whether they are related to a great person or a great person in the past. However, looking at these collections, they are precious and exquisite. It's really a temporary choice. We have a very fine music stand made of mahogany in our collection. The frame was specially made for Jefferson, the third president of the United States, and the angle of the frame and the way of the hinge were completed under the president's personal guidance and according to his ingenuity in mechanics. We also have in our collection a bust (of Weylandt) which was at one time owned by Craiber Robinson. He had always been kind to others, left many diaries, and was very familiar with many great people. He had the insight to rescue the statue from among the many forgotten items in the broom closet. We also have a theodolite used by Swedenborg, a Swedish philosopher and scientist, and a collection of hymns by Charles, an English clergyman, as well as a new and uniquely designed hoe used by Robert Owen, an English entrepreneur and social reformer, in his early years of pioneering the territory of the newly established city of Hamerney. We have a chiming clock, given to Benjamin Franklin by the French general Lafayette,Automatic nail machine, and Honoré Balzac's private stick, covered with jewels in such splendor that it loses all elegance. My grandfather always liked to compare such nouveau riche pomposity with Owen's hoe, because it revealed real dignity and simplicity. Since the hoe did not look used, it remains to be seen whether it was a practical tool, as my grandfather thought. However, the glory brought to him by that sentiment will never change. We also have many noble objects, such as fine porcelain from Sevres,Coil Nail Making Machine, soft pottery, glass from Venice, and tiles from the East. Most of these items, the ones from Europe, were collected by my grandfather. He was a very patient man, who often went to the bottom of a trivial matter, traveled all over the four continents of the world, and when he returned home, he would return with a full load, adding countless new treasures to our brilliant white cottage facing the highlands. All of the tall cabinets in the Tianci Building are inlaid with a large glass in front of them, and that is the design of my grandfather, which perfectly combines the simplicity of the practical furniture used by the early immigrants with idealism, Nail machine supplier ,High Speed Nail Making Machine, that is, my grandfather's ancestors, with the primitive and powerful aesthetic feeling of those Spaniards who migrated and pioneered with their ancestors. ww w.xIaoshuotxt.。 com Part II Verse 56: Chapter 6 My Youth (6) Txt = Small _ Say [_ Days. Don My father, who suffered from what is clinically known as depression, was sometimes depressed, and therefore, even though he graduated from Harvard with a distinction in theology, he was unable to advance in a certain field at all. Sometimes, he would let me get close to these treasures and study them carefully, so he felt happy. When he was more peaceful, he did his best to catalogue these collections, but because he could not establish a set of standards for cataloguing, the whole cataloguing work was not very smooth (perhaps the simplest way was simply according to the chronological order of the objects manufactured or collected, but his heart was never satisfied with simple things).
"You see, Morty, my boy," he would say to me, "you see what's in your hands now is history!" My personal favorite collection is the sketches of famous people in the nineteenth century and their signed photographs, such as those by Richmond and Watts, and those by photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, most of which were given by others, and some of which were obtained after painstaking solicitation. It was my great-grandmother, Priscilla Payne Crapol. The most exquisite portraits -- which, I believe, are an unparalleled collection in the world today -- are now the most representative objects in the portrait collection of the Staten Collection Center at Robert Dale Owen University, of which I am honored to be the curator. In the past, they were all my childhood playmates, and my imagination injected vitality into their solemn appearance and made them smile kindly. Carlyle's rugged features have always fascinated me, Elizabeth Gaskell's softness has made my mind yearn, I have admired George Eliot's deep and solemn meditation, and my soul has been lightened by Emerson's sacred innocence. I was a vulnerable child, educated mostly by my dear Nini, who was also my tutor, and later personally guided by a man who graduated from Harvard and was recommended to my father because he was a poet, and because of this teaching position, he was safely ready to write great works. His name was Hollingdale, his full name was Arthur Hollingdale, and he began by saying that he had found in the compositions I wrote as a child an unlimited literary talent, and that he therefore encouraged me to devote myself to it. He had always wanted to interest me in modern works — I remember that he was very enthusiastic about Ezra Pound's works — but my personal interests and preferences had long been unique, and what I loved was the past. I don't think Mr. Hollingdale has ever written the great work in his mind. He felt that our desert area was so lonely that his body and mind were not satisfied,Iron Nail Making Machine, so he drank tequila like a poet, and finally left here, but both he and we all felt that there was no regret about the end. 3shardware.com
