“I like the scientific spirit - the holding off, the being sure but not too sure, the willingness to surrender ideas when the evidence is against them: this is ultimately fine - it always keeps the way beyond open - always gives life, thought, affection, the whole man, a chance to try over again after a mistake - after a wrong guess.”

#LilithJuly #WhiteFlag

“The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh grass outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house. A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

White Chrysanthemum | Mary Lynn Bracht

#LilithJuly
White chrysanthemums symbolize loyalty & devoted love & in Korea they are a symbol of grief & mourning so I think they are like a #WhiteFlag of sorts & fit todays song pick. This book is a tough but beautifully written story of two Korean sisters separated by war when one is taken away by a Japanese soldier as a ‘comfort woman‘ while the younger one is left behind with survivor‘s guilt, wondering what happened to her sister.

Cinfhen Sounds like a tough read. Love your train of thought ♥️ 5y
TrishB I thought this was a great read 👍🏻 5y

(Day 30 - #WhiteFlag)

*I‘m such a kid. When I see a white flag, it makes me think of “running underwear up the flagpole,” which used to be a joke back when my dad was in school (the year would be 1950—I don‘t know if anybody knows the joke nowadays). Then that reminded me of the Captain Underpants books by Dav Pilkey, which are set in Piqua, Ohio. I probably don‘t need to say anymore—I‘m pretty sure you guys think I‘m nuts by now.

cobwebmoth I used to work in Piqua, OH.😊 5y
Cinfhen Ha!! Love the way you think 💡🙌🏻♥️ 5y
KarenUK 😂😂👍💕 5y
gradcat @cobwebmoth Wow! It looks like there might be some kind of military installation there? Not sure about that, though. 5y
gradcat @Cinfhen & @KarenUK Thank you! You guys are great! ♥️👍 5y

I read this book in college, and it is amazing! It‘s heartbreaking, but the spirit of those who are fighting for their rights is uplifting. Slaves in the French occupied Haiti want to be free and start to rebel. This is a novel, but the info in here is so good, it‘s a great companion piece to nonfiction accounts on the rebellion in the 1790s. The slaves refuse to wave a #WhiteFlag . #LilithJuly

Cinfhen Well done 👍🏻 5y
