Dickinson on aging
"Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought." Emily Dickinson
Open Culture offered an exciting chance to see Claude Monet at work. I've long admired his paintings and been amazed that he was able to produce so much beauty against the backdrop of the first world war, advancing age, and deterioration of his eyesight. I've posted about Monet before at Tumblr and at Posthaven.
