William Penn Morgan était un peintre britannique né à Londres en 1826 et décédé à New York en 1900.
À l'âge de quatorze ans, il se rend à Paris et étudie dans l'atelier de Thomas Couture. Cependant, au début de sa résidence, il est beaucoup plus intéressé par les «vues et les sons de Paris» que par les études académiques, mais il finit par étudier les vieux maîtres et étudie également à l'école du gouvernement français au Havre.
Cependant, ne ressentant pas un grand sentiment d'accomplissement et ne voulant pas retourner en Angleterre comme un «raté», il passe les années 1840 comme marin. En 1851, il arrive sans un sou à Brooklyn, à New York, où il mourra en 1900 et où il restera pendant la majeure partie de sa carrière.
N. Henry Bingham est un peintre américain d'après-guerre et contemporain né en 1939. Il est connu pour son interprétation des périodes d'art antérieures (c'est un copiste).
Derek R. Audette: Keep the people ignorant and afraid and control and power becomes a detail - a self generating byproduct of the people's hysteria. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Richard Sorge: I created the impression of being a playboy, almost a wastrel, the very antithesis of a keen and dangerous spy. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Richard Sorge: Dear Comrade! Don't worry about us. Although we are terribly tired and tense, nevertheless we are disciplined, obedient, decisive and devoted fellows who are ready to carry out the tasks connected with our great mission. I send sincere greetings to you and your friends. I request you to forward the attached letter and greetings to my wife. Please, take the time to see to her welfare. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Carl Bernstein: Somehow, amidst the Bonds and Smiley's People, we have ignored the greatest of 20th century spy stories – that of Stalin's Sorge, whose exploits helped change history. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Larry Collins: Richard Sorge's brilliant espionage work saved Stalin and the Soviet Union from defeat in the fall of 1941, probably prevented a Nazi victory in World War II and thereby assured the dimensions of the world we live in today. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Frederick Forsyth: The spies in history who can say from their graves, the information I supplied to my masters, for better or worse, altered the history of our planet, can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Richard Sorge was in that group. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Mary Oliver: We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
