Dr. Yves Benoist is, indeed, the centerpiece for this week’s
curatorial project. The psychology publication, one that encourages the reader,
“Master your life,” supplied the complementary colour palate.
Beyond its kick-ass design and presumptive title, the
publication encourages contemplation of both personal relationships and the
future. “’L’ALCOOL ET VOUS” and “COMBIEN D’ANNEES VOUS RESTE-T-IL A VIVRE?” are
some recommended sections. Benoist
closes by urging his patrons, “Choisir des AMIS SAINS, physiquement et
moralement.” Just full of wisdom, this one. A treat, really. “POUR VIVRE
LONGTEMPS, VIVRE LENTEMENT.”
Another gem in the complementary collection is “The Ladybird
Book of British Wildflowers,” by Brian Vesey-Fitzgerald, with paintings by
Rowland and Edith Hilder (brother and sister, husband and wife, coincidence?).
While the book does a downright swell job of pointing out which wildflower is
which, it can also serve as a spring of inspiration for parents who just can’t
seem to find the right name for their child. My personal favorites include, but
are not limited to, Purple Loosestrife, Germander Speedwell, Scarlet Pimpernel,
and Heartsease Tansy.
“Citrate Magnesie”, or magnesium citrate, is a saline
laxative, but you’d never guess at first glance.
Anyway, next time you drop in, ask yourself, “I
NOSTRI TEMPI TURBOLENTI CHE COSA SIGNIFICANO?” Your answer will most likely be
one of problem-solving capabilities: buy something to distract yourself from
the real answer.
