What’s Up?

Mr. Nicolaus Copernicus (b.1473) found out that the planets go around the sun. It was a big discovery, though unpopular at the time.

What’s surprising is that he made his observations with the naked eye, no telescope at all. The skies over Poland must be very clear.

Rhino vision is not outstanding, so We are doubly-wowed. Visionary guy, Mr. Copernicus.

In case you didn’t know…

Today Your Inner Rhino applauds the remarkable work of Harry Clarke (b.1889). Not only was he a gifted Irish illustrator, but he was also a prolific designer of stained glass windows. Much of his work can seem gloomy, but it is undeniably ravishing.

Rhinos love stained glass. We like to see the sunlight pouring through the images.

It’s one reason you may have noticed Us in church, when the weather is fair.

 

Please, Sir…

Mr. Charles Dickens (b.1812) was a mega-star Victorian author. His stories are complex and his cast of characters is astoundingly rich. His work has great dramatic flair.

Rhinos are interested in his focus on the underprivileged and vulnerable, demanding that these folk need support. Mr. Dickens was influential in raising public consciousness, and that is always time and effort well spent.

Rhinos all owe him, and gladly grant him, our Thanks.
