Poetry by a billionaire just sounds like something I don't want to ever hear, for so many different reasons.

But being forced to listen to it because I have to take my daughter somewhere reminds me so much of the Vogons in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

This balloon looks like if Bernie Mac made a guest appearance on King of the Hill.

King of the Hill balloon left over after my son’s birthday party. I feel like it belongs online.

Albert Racinet's "Polychrome Ornament," 1869 PLATE XI. CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART. CLOISONNE ENAMEL.

WE have ventured to unite under one title, Chinese and Japanese, the various specimens of enamel collected in our plate. They do in fact belong to one and the same style, as the art of ornamentation in Japan was formed under the influence of the Chinese, and presents no special characteristic to account for the greater esteem in which its productions are held, except a higher per­fection of workmanship and some superiority in individual taste. In fact, it is very often difficult to distinguish Chinese productions of this kind from those that arc produced in Japan, and it is frequently still more difficult to decide whether any particular piece belongs to ancient or to modern times. A few connoisseurs may profess to distinguish them by the method of their manufacture or the use of certain enamels; but the system of ornamentation has in general remained the same, and has changed the less from the circumstance that the most recent productions are merely copies of ancient ones. M. Jacquemart, in his Merveilles de la Ceramique, speaks thus on the subject: "The Chinese are skilful forgers and endeavor to profit by the taste of their fellow-countrymen for ancient and valuable works. It has sometimes happened in China, as with ourselves, that mere imitators have succeeded in obtaining for their works a reputation and value equal to those of the originals."

Albert Racinet's "Polychrome Ornament," 1869 PLATE X. CHINESE ART. MEANDERS AND SCALLOPS.

THE specimens contained in the accompanying plate are taken from vases in bronze, incrusted with tin, silver, or gold, in the possession of the Baroness de Rothschild and Messrs. Burty, Evans, Laurens, and Mentzer; some are modern, others of the highest antiquity. All were exhibited at the Exposition Orientale, organised by the Union centrale des arts appliques a l'industrie in 1869. The greater number are described in the illustrated catalogue, in 42 folio volumes (Bibl. Nat.), of all the vases formerly contained in the Imperial Museum of Pekin, the majority of which were unfortunately destroyed at the sack of the Summer Palace. This loss is to be regretted from an historical as well as from an artistic point of view, as many of the vases were manufactured in commemoration of historical events, and thus served as memorials of facts and dates, as proved by the researches of M. Stanislas Julien. This great Chinese scholar, when exhibiting a sketch of one of these vases, the inscription on which proved that it was presented to the emperor Wen Wang, 1200 years before our era, i. e. about the time of the siege of Troy, asserted that there were others more ancient still. From the ornamentalist's point of view few studies are so interesting as that of these spirited meanders, so different, notwithstanding their similarity of class, from the lineal rigidity of their Greek successors. These ornamental designs, the symmetry of which is so ingeniously varied, give a high idea of the decorative art of the ancient Chinese, and are capable of numerous applications to modern decoration

Albert Racinet's "Polychrome Ornament," 1869 PLATE IX. GRECO-ROMAN ART. MOSAICS, PAINTED BAS-RELIEFS, AND MURAL PAINTINGS.

THE use of mosaic is very ancient; its name is derived. from the Greek word Moura, Muse. "If an invention," says M Barre, "is attributed to the Muses collectively, and not to some particular artist, or special divinity of the second rank, if it has never become the theme of the narrations of poets and fabulists, we may be sure that it has been a common practice from time immemorial, and comprises nothing that could be called a discovery."-Herculanum et Pompei, by H. Roux and Barre.-Paris, Firmin Didot. It is difficult to determine precisely the periods at which the Greeks, and after them the Romans, . passed from the use of simply variegated pavements to mosaics ornamented with figures. All that we know with any certainty is, that the taste for mosaic pavements was only developed amongst the Greeks under the Asiatic influence of the successors of Alexander. Relying on a passage in Pliny, it may be safely assumed that mosaics of artificial crystals, used for the imitation of painting, first appeared at Rome about the time of Vespasian. (See the passage quoted from M. Jeanron in the Introduction.)

The specimens contained in our plate may be thus divided:- Nos. 1 to 7, mosaics found at Herculaneum and Pompeii. No. 6 from the House of the Faun, and No. 7 from the House of Polybius, both at Pompeii. Nos. 8 and 9 represent painted bas-reliefs at Pompeii. Nos. 10 to 20 are taken from panels, friezes, borders and mural paintings. All these specimens are reproduced from the great works of Zahn and Mazois.

Albert Racinet's "Polychrome Ornament," 1869 PLATE VIII. GRECO- ROMAN ANTIQUITIES. POMPEIAN STYLE. DECORATIVE ARCHITECTURE.

THE purely decorative architecture, which we find represented on the inner walls of the apartments in Herculaneum and Pompeii, seems to belong less to the domain of reality than to that of fancy. Tradition attributes to the painter Lidius, in the time of Augustus, the invention of these architectural compositions, so elegant though so fantastic; and they are frequently intermingled with maritime scenes and landscapes, or animated by various figures. Executed by Greek artists, or by Etruscans working under their influence, they were highly appreciated by the Romans, who found in them the elegance and poetry of Greek art, in place of their own stereotyped forms of architecture, of which vaulted ceilings and arcades were the most striking characteristics. The principal subject of the plate is a painted wall from the Casa delle Suonatrici, taken from the great work of Zahn: Les plus beau, ornaments et les tableaux les plus remarquables de Pompei, d' Herculanum et de Stabice; Berlin, 1828-30. It is considered one of the finest of its kind. The two single figures have been added to the design; they do not exist in the original. One of them, that of the dancing girl, on the dark ground, was discovered in the Torre dell' Annunziata. It is the finest of the twelve figures which were found in the same apartment, and is similar to those which Pliny calls Libiclines. The little winged genius, with Bacchic attributes, which occupies the upper medallion, was found in the excavations at Civita. These two figures are taken from the great work of Mazois: Les ruines de Pompei ( 4 vols folio; Firmin Didot).

In addition to broadcasting my DJ mixes from aboard my spaceship and researching illustrations about ancient art, I also come down to the surface of Earth to quilt. It's a fun, creative hobby and I get to hang out with sweet older ladies on Saturdays who cheer each other on and uplift everyone. This is my most recent project. Top and back complete. I am taking this one to a quilter to add the batting and do the quilting.
