Happy birthday to Elliott Carter, who would have turned 116 today!
Here he is pictured in one of the most adorable photos ever taken, the cover for Music of Elliott Carter, Volume Eight, looking every bit like Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Thought:
“It is rare indeed that people give. Most people guard and keep; they suppose that it is they themselves and what they identify with themselves that they are guarding and keeping, whereas what they are actually guarding and keeping is their system of reality and what they assume themselves to be.”
