. . . and while I know a woman who learned Greek at ninety there are nevertheless some skills, like ballet dancing and gum chewing, which can only be mastered by the very young.
-- Jean Kerr, Penny Candy

Now that my hair is white, and my years of life ahead are growing fewer, I think that the pains I have taken over dancing have not really been pains, and I must study harder, much harder.
-- Onoe Kikugoro VI (familiarly called Rokudaime), in Ben Bruce Blakeney, "Rokudaime," Contemporary Japan, 18

When people grow old they must be dull. Dancing can't go on for ever.
-- Anthony Trollope, Can You Forgive Her?

When you do dance, I wish you / A wave o' the sea, that you might ever do / Nothing but that.
-- William Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale

The RÉUNION DES MUSÉES NATIONAUX (The National Museum Association's Photographic Agency) offers a photographic catalogue of some 200,00 holdings of French museums. It can be searched by artist, country, period, subject, and so on. You can make a personal album of your favorites on the site. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and D.C.'s National Gallery have similar services, but the French one is the most ambitious and extensive. Text in English as well as French.

AddALL is an ultimate umbrella for finding used and out of print books online. It doesn't have the atmosphere of Foyle's, Powell's, or even the Strand, but it will give you every opportunity to need yet another bookcase.

PROJECT GUTENBERG More books. No bookcase required. Over 6000 free electronic texts.

CALLIGRAPHY LESSONS ONLINE Learn the italic hand and make yourself legible. Don't miss the animation.

Color charts of HERBIN INKS. If you have to ask, you'll never know.

THE NEW YORK TIMES Because it's there.

360° Dance Company at DTW offers two socially relevant revivals, Jane Dudley’s solo “Time Is Money” (1932) and Mary Anthony’s “Devil in Massachusetts” (1952) as well as the World Premier of Artistic Director, Martin Lofsnes' "6-1".
