Sir William Quiller Orchardson
Her Mothers Voice
exhibited 1888
The widower in the foreground looks up as he thinks for a moment that he hears his late wife's voice as his daughter, whom he cannot see, begins to sing. The picture was exhibited with lines from Tennyson's poem Break, break, break:
But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand/ And the sound of a voice that is still.
There are some things, some things, some things that just perpetuate. They perpetuate to a height, a certain level, and they dont stop. They keep getting stronger in nature and they keep increasing, until it ends itself or it becomes eternal, timeless.
I read a quote by one of the first female psychologists and one of the pioneers of female psychology, that was nice, I cant remember it clearly but it was something like "Human diversity is too great and beautiful a thing to be sacrificed at the altars of what society considers as normal"
I think what's normal doesnt always represent whats right or whats good, I would say it usually doesnt represent whats good, at least sometimes and for some people. What's normal for society is that people fight in marriages, they hate each other at times, and, and that love isnt always so beautiful or good and cant be sustained. I think this is what many think, what many think and call to be normal. That its normal to fight, to argue and to not get along.
Of course it happens a lot, it happens a lot and for a great percentage of the population, but, but it doesnt mean its right, it doesnt mean its not possible for us to aspire and also to reach a stage or find people with whom we wont argue ever, where love can be susatined and love is beauitful and people can get along with each other for a long period of time. And not just aspire but also reach those heights.
It is possible, that whats not normal can be possible and exists and can also be the best thing. I am not talking about eutopian dreams, or desires. I am talking about a simple and difficult possibility where we as humans aspire to learn to commincate with each other and even ourselves and learning better ways to get along with ourselves and others, and also knowing that when things dont go right, that there is a possibility of things to also go perfect if a change is made.
It is possible if we are taught the right communication techniques and can understand to respect boundaries and know our boundaries and be perceptive enough to respect our instincts which tell us whats right and wrong for us.
