"She knew I could tell with one glance, one look, one simple instant.
It was her eyes.
Despite the thick makeup, they were still dark-rimmed,
haunted, and sad.
Most of all though,
they were familiar.
The fact that we were in front of hundreds of strangers changed nothing at all.
I’d spent a summer with those same eyes-scared, lost, confused-staring back at me.
I would have known them anywhere."

Charles August Mengin
Sappho, 1877, oil on canvas, 230.7 × 151.1 cm, Manchester Art Gallery.
Sappho was a Greek poet who lived around 600 BC. She wrote about love, yearning and reflection, often dedicating her poems to the female pupils who studied with her on the island of Lesbos. Mengin has chosen to paint a legend narrating that Sappho killed herself by jumping off the Leucadian cliffs for unrequited love of Phaon, a ferryman. This legend is regarded as unhistorical by modern scholars, but it may have resulted in part from a desire to assert Sappho as heterosexual.

SAPPHO, SAPPHO, ALL HAIL SAPPHO. Ya.

Deep in the rainforests of the Indian state of Meghalaya, bridges are not built, they’re grown. For more than 500 years locals have guided roots and vines from the native Ficus Elastica (rubber tree) across rivers, using hollowed out trees to create root guidance systems. When the roots and vines reach the opposite bank they are allowed to take root. Some of the bridges are over 100 feet long and can support the weight of 50 people.
