A quotation from J. M. Barrie

 “Why can’t you fly now, mother?”
 “Because I am grown up, dearest. When people grow up they forget the way.”
 “Why do they forget the way?”
 “Because they are no longer gay and innocent and heartless. It is only the gay and innocent and heartless who can fly.”

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
Peter and Wendy, ch. 17 “When Wendy Grew Up” [Jane to Wendy] (1911)

Ah ... stamps don't need licking these days.

the Lobster's Quadrille, from Alice In Wonderland illustrated by Salvador Dalí

here's another one of these watercolors by Dalí. I didn't know that he illustrated Alice In Wonderland, which I still haven't read.

Before image search I thought it was a great stand-alone work, I was seeing kings and transformations, burning caterpillar men turning into firebirds. War. I've learned that the girl with the jump-rope is Alice. 10/10 🌩️

Walking along a road running parallel to local train tracks, could see a small kid furiously pedalling a miniscule bicycle rapidly approaching from afar. Saw the local train the kid was racing gradually overtaking the kid.
Flashbacked to a London cinema and early scenes of the 1978 Superman film.
Such nostalgic innocence (or ignorance). Whatever was the "American way"?
