A Ghost from the Grand Banks Painting

“…the psychological effect of those three zeros was too powerful, the fin de sièle ambience too overwhelming. This was the weekend that counted; 1 January 2001 would be an anticlimax, except to a few movie buffs.” “‘Nice try, Uncle Bill. It’s from Sergeant Pepper—‘A Day in the Life.’ I had no idea you were fond of classical music.’” “…the most underrated of his country’s three titans, seldom mentioned in the same breath as Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky…  As Sergey Rachmaninoff himself had done long ago, Jason Bradley had stood transfixed before Arnold Boecklin’s ‘Isle of the Dead,’ and now he was seeing it again in his mind’s eye.” “‘Poor Miss Ives!’ chortled Donald. ‘Wait until we tell her that she’s got the Ramanujan of geometry in her class!’” “A satirical Washington cartoonist had created a crazy “Thomas Alva Emerson” whose zany inventions would have put Rube Goldberg to shame.” “…in a space movie whose name he couldn’t recall. There had been a dead astronaut cradled in mechanical arms, being carried toward the stars…. But this robot pietà was rising from the Atlantic depths, toward the circling inflatable boats waiting to receive it.” “He could not help feeling like a character in an old Steven Spielberg movie.” “He was certainly the richest writer of science fiction who ever lived—a fact which may well mortify admirers of the late L. Ron Hubbard, should any still exist.” “After all, it was quite possible—even likely—that Howard Hughes himself had been in the plane that had circled overhead a few hours before.” “‘Aren’t you seeing anything of London? I can get you tickets to the new Andrew Lloyd Webber-Stephen King show. There aren’t many people who can make that claim.’” “Millions of viewers would switch off in disgust at a western, a James Bond thriller, a Neil Simon comedy, a courtroom drama, for a reason which would have been inconceivable only a generation before. They showed people smoking.” -Arthur C. Clarke (The Ghost from the Grand Banks)
