Summary

This quote highlights the historical discrepancy between the perception of women as queens, synonymous with power and respect, and the reality in which women have been confined to limited roles and opportunities. It signifies that the title of "queen" is essentially empty and symbolic, as it fails to grant women true authority or autonomy over their lives. By emphasizing the disparity between the lofty reputation of women and their actual status, the quote challenges the traditional gender norms and calls for a more equitable society.

The universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. There is in truth no past, only a memory of the past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

Architecture worth great attention. As we double our numbers

Architecture worth great attention. As we double our numbers every 20 years we must double our houses. Besides we build of such perishable materials that one half of our houses must be rebuilt in every space of 20 years. So that in that term, houses are to be built for three fourths of our inhabitants. It is then among the most important arts: and it is desireable to introduce taste into an art which shews so much.
