Aubrey Beardsley illustration for Le Morte Darthur 1893

This arresting, unflinching artwork is from Beardsley’s first major commission. Already we see his revolutionary graphic style; the simplicity and purity of line, areas of detail and untouched paper contrasting with bold masses of flat black. All entirely novel for his time. Despite this simplicity, he achieves incredibly deep and powerful characterization. His witches aren’t crones. They are upright, proud. One gazes with powerful defiance, challenging us, the viewer. Their down-turned, arch, disdainful mouths and androgynous figures, aggressively critique Victorian concepts of sexuality, beauty and gender. Their faces are haloed by hair that's like a compelling mass of wild, flowing energy.

Emily Dickinson 1830 - 1886

"Witchcraft was hung, in History,
But History and I
Find all the Witchcraft that we need
Around us, every Day—"

Beardsley challenged, subverted and innovated in the most public of forum. He skillfully exploited his fame and the cultural milieu in which he and his work existed. Dickinson turned inwards, shutting out much of society - but through this, she was able to achieve a similar outcome. 

Four years after her death her poetry became a stunning success, she now stands as one of the most important American poets - read widely across people of multiple ages and interests. 

Dickinson's independence of mind is expressed through powerful honesty and inhibition in her work. She challenged the existing definitions of poetic form, the poet's work and womanhood. Her poems at once witty, satirical, ironic and wry, display a strong sense of self as a poet and a woman. Their overarching moral vision breaks or transcends oughts, shoulds and cultural constraints.

Dickinson lived just a few miles from where the Salem witch trial hangings would have taken place. In this poem she challenges these events and their influence, asserting the persistence of witchcraft - a recurring resurrection and also a living thing - not simply hung on a wall, as an example, to look at.

Dickinson refers to the writing of Elizabeth Browning as ‘tomes of solid Witchcraft’. Elsewhere she re-writes enchantment and hysteria as a ‘divine insanity’. She sees nature, God and witchcraft as one, and creates a symbolic bond between women writers and witches, standing in opposition to a traditional Christian patriarchal narrative.

Perfect size, high quality
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
I had a previous catch all tray that I bought on amazon, it used buttons on the 4 corners to turn a flat cardboard into a tray. Over time, the catch all tray got filled up, not just with a wallet, keys and eyeglasses but eventually business cards and other knick knacks. With all the items inside the tray, sometimes the buttons would start to pop out. It wasn't awful, more of an annoyance. But it was time for me to find a more durable tray. I looked on amazon and added 6 different trays that had "potential" into my shopping cart. Then I carefully evaluated each one and deleted them out of my cart until there was only one left. Some had multiple compartments. Some were larger than this one. I felt the ones with compartments would limit my ability to put the things I want in there. Also, I didn't want it so big that it took up too much desk space. Ultimately, I felt this was the perfect size. I'm extremely happy with it, the quality is really nice and it looks and feels durable. No more loose buttons and spilled knick knacks.

Keeps clutter away
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Black (Metal Silvered)
This works great to corral all my notes I write on post its or small notes. Keeping them hidden from the desk top b/c or the depth but still visible to me. Much better than keeping on the plotter. Looks great in quality .

Attractive, Simple, And Well-Made
Size: 7.7" x 7.7" x 1.7", Color: Orange (Metal Glided)
I use this as a "catchall". A place to stash things like my wallet and keys when I enter the door, so that I don't use them (I had been prone to that!). It serves it's purpose well. It's both sturdy and attractive, and a good size for a "catchall". Recommended for those like me who need such things.
