A lot has been written on Maurice Sendak lately – and drawn. Here is illustrator, graphic designer and author Christoph Niemann’s illustrated remembrance from the New York Times Magazine. In “Wider than the Sky,” Sendak was quoted, in 2006, as saying that his “gods” were Herman Melville, Mozart and Emily Dickinson:
I believe in them with all my heart. I have a little, tiny Emily Dickinson book that I carry in my pocket everywhere. She is so strong. She is such a sexy, passionate woman. And when I am anxious, or worried about something, I read her words and I feel at peace.
Here is an Emily Dickinson poem:
‘Twas such a little—little boat
That toddled down the bay!
‘Twas such a gallant—gallant sea
That beckoned it away!‘Twas such a greedy, greedy wave
That licked it from the Coast—
Nor ever guessed the stately sails
My little craft was lost!

The story of the first use of Venn diagrams in 1712. Complement with 100 diagrams that changed the world.
The natural world may be conceived as a system of concentric circles, and we now and then detect in nature slight dislocations which apprise us that this surface on which we now stand is not fixed, but sliding.

“There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.”
