Dark Time.
The birds, in timid doubt,
Have taken a vow of silence.
Their beaks are shackled with ice -
Until spring.
Like clouds over the horizon,
Black eyebrows frown.
Only my shadow in a maroon dress
Takes me into the arms.
Gloom spread out like ink,
Candles melted in delirium.
Snow white palms
With petals of wax lilies.
Winds break the door bolts -
Lackeys of winter and death.
Marble cold heart
In the branches of granite inflorescences.
The pain snakes through the body,
The roots go deeper and deeper.
My features are carved in stone
By blind blizzard.
And on the inside of the eyelids
Glitter nacre,
Frozen moonless night
And the morning not knowing the sun.
Тёмное время.
Птицы, в сомнении робком,
Дали обет тишины.
Клювы - ледяной коркой -
Скованы до весны.
Как тучи над горизонтом,
Сдвигаются черные брови.
Мне раскрывает объятия
Лишь тень моя в платье багровом.
Мрак разлился, как чернила,
Свечи в бреду оплыли.
Снежно белеют ладони,
Лепестками восковых лилий.
Засовы ломают ветры -
Лакеи зимы и смерти.
Мрамор холодного сердца
В ветках гранитных соцветий.
Боль змеится по телу,
Глубже корни вонзая.
Черты мои высекает
На камне метель слепая.
А на изнанке век,
Отблесками перламутра,
Стынет безлунная ночь
И солнца не знавшее утро. (at Lipetsk, Russia)

…However, it would be more precise to say that Mises and Rothbard consider indifference to be irrelevant for the explanation of human action. The fact is that an acting person always does something. This is the starting point for any science of human action. Our knowledge of the existence of choice alternatives and of purposes enables us to explain this fact. Thus when we see that Paul eats ice cream we explain this observation by relating it to possible alternative actions that Paul could have performed. We say that he preferred eating ice cream to any other choice he had had. Clearly, this explanation would be impossible if we assumed that Paul were indifferent between eating ice cream and other possible activities. We would still be faced with the undeniable fact that he does eat ice cream, but we could not explain it. Paul’s psychological indifference is thus particularly unsuited as an account of what he does. And so is indifference in general utterly unsuited as an explanation of what people do.[…]
[T]he starting point of the Austrian analysis is not a freely floating choice theory, which is then somehow applied to the real world, but real human action. Choice theory refers to the relations which link realized and non-realized parts of human action, and when applying choice theory we can thus explain any given activity by relating it to other elements of the same action. We can relate an activity to foregone alternatives (“Paul prefers eating ice cream to all other alternatives”) or to purposes (“Paul eats ice cream in order to grow fat and ugly”). In both cases we explain a real-world phenomenon in terms of the relationships in which it stands.
It is against this background that we have to understand Mises’s critique of the behaviorist perspective on phenomena like “rush hour at the Grand Central Station.”
There are no laws relating the behavior of people rushing back and forth to previous or later behavior. However, we can explain their behavior by relating it to the underlying purposes, like getting from home to the train, and from there to work, etc.
Having this in mind, it is easy to give an economic account of the psychic phenomenon of indifference between two events. For example, Paul might be indifferent between buying the red or the green sweater. An economic analysis of Paul’s action could stress that he prefers to be indifferent rather than choose either the red or the green sweater (which implies of course that he does choose a third option—standing around and gazing at the various sweaters). It could also stress that Paul does not choose to buy either a red or a green sweater for a certain reason, for example, because he wants to keep his money or because he wants to deliver a (futile) proof of the importance of indifference in human action. In short, indifference as we know it by introspection is a fact to be explained. It is not and, as we have argued, cannot possibly itself be an explanation of human action.
It is also easy to deal with Caplan’s counterexample of a preference that is not revealed in action. Says Caplan (1999, p. 826):
my preference for ice cream at the current instant cannot be revealed, since by the time I managed to find an ice cream vendor the current instant would have passed. Buying ice cream ten minutes from now only reveals a preference for ice cream then. And yet, I have introspective knowledge that I want some ice cream right now.
This description of a “non-revealed preference” is interesting only as an account of Caplan’s mental state of affairs (that is, of a fact to be explained). But it is irrelevant for the explanation of what Caplan does. It does not tell us why he sits in his office and thinks of a “preference” for ice cream that does not materialize in action. Economic science can explain his behavior only by relating what Caplan does to what he might have done instead. It states that Caplan prefers to spend his time imagining a satisfaction that he cannot obtain.

Speaking of a Medusa lookalike, we are super obsessed with this antique piece! Swipe to see the special gold back A portrait pin from the 1880. Hand-carved from angel skin coral, sculpted into curled ringlets. Two sparkling diamonds are set in the eyes , and a luscious ruby represents the lips. The portrait head hangs from a an elaborate gold bow with more curls of ribbon surrounding more diamonds. A gold and diamond bow at the collar, and a panpipe flute instrument lined with a row of even more diamonds.

Here is a peek of our hand drawn ✍️ print from SS20. The print has an overall repeat of what shell nacre looks like magnified. The octopus penetrates sea/shell surface to grab the greedy seagulls and lady (who looks like medusa from some angles).
The Nichloris SS20 concept is about greed and the reverence we express or should express with our consumption of sea products. We looked to traditional Japanese culture as well as Roman and ancient Greek culture to see how historically they have expressed their concerns on this topic.
