What’s behind this wall? As I write, here in my surgeon’s study, I ask myself that question. What’s behind it? My neighbors? Then what do I know—really know—of them? After all, this wall which rises beyond my desk, the wall against which my glass case of instruments rests, symbolizes the boundary of knowledge—seemingly an opaque barrier. I am called a man of science, a man with a passion for accuracies. I seek to define a part of the limitless and undefined mysteries of the body. But what is behind the wall? Are we sensitive to it? You smile. Give your attention then to a narrative of facts. [more]

The Lilies Bloomed that Day. Out In the Courtyard, In their Fantastic Green-Dragoned pots, One By One The Tiny, Ethereal Petals Opened. Dong-Yung Went Rapturously Among Them, Stooping low To Inhale Their Faint Fragrance. The Square Courtyard, Guarded on Three Sides By The Wings Of The House, Facing the Windowless Blank Wall On The Fourth, Was Mottled with Sunlight. Just This Side Of The Wall A Black Shadow, As Straight And Opaque As The Wall Itself, Banded the Court With Darkness; But On The Hither Side, Where The Lilies Bloomed and Dong-Yung Moved Among Them, Lay Glittering, Yellow Sunlight. The Little Box Of A House Where The Gate-Keeper Lived made A Bulge In the Uniform Blackness Of The Wall And Its Shadow. The Two Tall Poles, With The Upturned baskets, The Devil-Catchers, Rose Like Flagstaffs From Both Sides Of The Door. [more]

BR Sunkara Hunt For Planets

Astronomers expected to have a satellite called the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) which was cataloguing planets that are too far away from their host stars to be spotted. A direct imaging telescope used one of two methods to block out the light of host stars and let it detect fainter planets in orbit around them. WFIRST is enabled it to image extra solar planets directly. Another option was a Star-Shade, an orbiting piece of opaque material that positioned itself at some distance from a space telescope and block the star’s light from there. The Transiting extra solar planet Survey Satellite hunts for planets crossing the faces of half a million nearby bright stars for habitable worlds. [more]

Whistler written by T. Martin Wood. Masterpieces in colour edited by T. Leman Hare. Published in 1834-1903 and now republish in ePub file. At the time when Rossetti and his circle were foregathering chiefly at Rossetti’s house, quiet Chelsea scarcely knew how daily were associations added which will always cluster round her name. Whistler’s share in those associations is very large, and he has left in his paintings the memory of many a night, as he returned beside the river. Before Whistler painted it, night was more opaque than it is now. It had been viewed only through the window of tradition. It was left for a man of the world coming out of an artificial London room to paint its stillness, and also to show us that we ourselves had made night more beautiful, with ghostly silver and gold; and to tell us that the dark bridges that sweep into it do not interrupt—that we cannot interrupt, the music of nature.

Thriller by Neal Chadwick The size of this book corresponds to 128 paperback pages. The German student Elsa travels to Tangier after her painful parental divorce to gain some distance. There she meets 38-year-old Robert, an attractive, yet somewhat opaque man of seemingly Danish origin, with whom she falls in love and into whose villa she soon moves into. At first she unconditionally believes him and entrusts him with many things from her depressing past, but when she realizes that Robert uses make-up utensils and has several passports, she begins to think about the character of Robert's business. A little later Robert goes on one of his so-called business trips to Spain and France, and Elsa stays behind in the villa together with the Arab valet. It turns out that Robert is a professional contract killer - a terrible discovery made by Elsa. Robert can no longer let her live... [more]
