002a -'Watermark', Joseph BRODSKY,
[ Water unsettles the principle of horizontality, especially at night, when its surface resembles pavement.] No matter how solid its substitute -the deck- under your feet, on water you are somewhat more alert than ashore, your faculties are more poised. On water, for instance, you never get absentminded the way you do in the street: your legs keep you and your wits in constant check, as if you were some kind of compass"
Farrer, Strous and Giroux

SINK OR PLUNGE?
CONCLUSION · ASA SIMON MITTMAN"We are sinking. We are sinking, as individuals, as participants in a ield that is sinking along with us, as members of a species, and as components in a massive, global ecological network. But we are not sinking because of the malevolence of natural forces, not because the sand is hungry for us. [...] We are not sinking because whales and monstrous fish want to swallow us whole, not because the strange beings of the sea wish harm on us, nor because the sea itself is vengeful, though 'the water comes,' and who could blame it? We are sinking because of our collective hunger and callousness. As dwellers in the anthropocene, we can already see it all around us. Yes, of course, Venice is sinking. More than two decades ago, seemingly alarmist headlines asked questions about Amsterdam’s future like, “Is it time to build another ark?” But these cities have been sinking for centuries."

057a -´Marco Polo Travels´
A Library of Medieval Manuscripts OnlineWhile the Catalogue of Digitized Medieval Manuscripts will be of greatest interest to specialists, many others may be interested in this already vast and growing repository (more than 20,000 manuscripts in 20 languages by nearly 200 authors, and representing 300 libraries from around the world) of treasures from the medieval world. Many of these books are astonishing works of art even aside from their important historical contents.
For more information on the project that led to the creation of this exquisite online collection, see Science Daily s Virtual Library of Medieval Manuscripts Created
