Remember when I said The Night Manager was just okay? Well, it improved in the last episode. Finally, one of my favourite British actors appeared!

“He loved the sea and for deep-seated reasons: the hardworking artist’s need for repose, the desire to take shelter from the demanding diversity of phenomena in the bosom of boundless simplicity, a propensity—proscribed and diametrically opposed to his mission in life and for that very reason seductive—a propensity for the unarticulated, the immoderate, the eternal, for nothingness. To repose in perfection is the desire of all those who strive for excellence, and is not nothingness a form of perfection?” — Thomas Mann, “Death in Venice”

“At the time, she didn’t care about her work being attributed to Man Ray, as they were both artists supporting each other in doing what they loved.” […] “Unfortunately for Miller, when it came to recording the histories of photography, she had several factors against her, mainly the relative lack of canonical recognition for female artists. Another possibility is that after World War II, when suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, she buried her photography career as a way of coping with her mental health issues. While these presented challenges for Miller, her relationship with Man Ray endured.”
