Gerard Michel
perspectographe à cylindre.
[Mattias Adolfsson m'a donné l'idée d' "améliorer" mon système de perspectographe...]
[Even though] I am not working right now.
I am a bit worried about being able to bring things together for myself in the days to come.

From One Man’s Meat:
Here are the first lines of “A Shepherd’s Life” by E.B.White. April 1940.
This is a day of high winds and extravagant promises, a day of bright skies and the sun on the white painted south sides of buildings, of lambs on the warm slop of the barnyard, their forelegs folded neatly and on their miniature faces a look of grave miniature content. Beneath the winter cover of spruce boughs the tulip thrusts its spear. A white hen is chaperoning thirteen little black chicks all over the place, showing them the world’s fair with its lagoons and small worms.

I like the word conductorship. This unexpected word that found me yesterday means ‘ to bring together’.
And, too, the word synchronic which means 'concerned with something, esp. a language, as it exists at one point in time.'
