WIST Quotations

A quotation from Ellis Peters

He had never before been quite so acutely aware of the particular quality and function of November, its ripeness and its hushed sadness. The year proceeds not in a straight line through the seasons, but in a circle that brings the world and man back to the dimness and mystery in which both began, and out of which a new seed-time and a new generation are about to begin. Old men, thought Cadfael, believe in that new beginning, but experience only the ending. It may be that God is reminding me that I am approaching my November. Well, why regret it? November has beauty, has seen the harvest into the barns, even laid by next year’s seed. No need to fret about not being allowed to stay and sow it, someone else will do that. So go contentedly into the earth with the moist, gentle, skeletal leaves, worn to cobweb fragility, like the skins of very old men, that bruise and stain at the mere brushing of the breeze, and flower into brown blotches as the leaves into rotting gold. The colours of late autumn are the colours of the sunset: the farewell of the year and the farewell of the day. And of the life of man? Well, if it ends in a flourish of gold, that is no bad ending.

Ellis Peters (1913-1995) English writer, translator [pseud. of Edith Mary Pargeter, who also wrote under the names John Redfern, Jolyon Carr, Peter Benedict]
Brother Cadfael’s Penance, ch. 1 (1994)

Perfect endings in movies that I watch over and over again when I am nearing the end of writing a script:

BEFORE SUNSET
CASABLANCA
SOME LIKE IT HOT
PLANET OF THE APES (original)
Mike Leigh's NAKED
Tarkovsky's STALKER
THE LONG GOODBYE (my favorite Altman movie)
THE GRADUATE
I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG
FAIL SAFE
John Carpenter's THE THING

I had a lovely time playing EoW while recovering from top surgery, so I wanted to share my experience with the final boss and ending. This is filmed "OG-Kabba Style" since I was playing it through the TV and didn't feel like setting it up through my PC in order to screen record. I hope you enjoy it all the same! Make more of this type of classic Zelda-inspired game, please Nintendo! 🧝🏼‍♀️
