Winter

"Anne came dancing home in the purple winter twilight across the snowy places. Afar in the southwest was the great shimmering, pearl-like sparkle of an evening star in a sky that was pale golden and ethereal rose over gleaming white spaces and dark glens of spruce. The tinkles of sleigh bells among the snowy hills came like elfin chimes through the frosty air, but their music was not sweeter than the song in Anne's heart and on her lips."
- Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Nearer, My God, to Thee

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I'd be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

There let the way appear, steps unto heaven;
all that thou sendest me, in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

Nearer, My God, to Thee by H. D. Ganse

Hidden Figures

I recently finished reading Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly.
Here are some quotes that stood out to me.

"What was a plane but a bundle of physics? Physics, of course, meant math, and math meant mathematicians."
(loc 473, Kindle Edition)

"Daring men—and with the exception of Ann Baumgartner Carl at Ohio’s Wright Field, they were all men—the test pilots did the 'damn fool’s job' of flying an airplane directly into its weak spot."
(loc 1231, Kindle Edition)

"Black or white, east or west, single or married, mothers or childless, women were now a fundamental part of the aeronautical research process."
(loc 1637, Kindle Edition)

"Katherine, on the other hand, like the engineers around her, got into the habit of reading newspapers and magazines for the first few minutes of the day. She perused Aviation Week, trying to connect the dots between the latest industry advance and the torrent of numbers flowing through her calculating machine."
(loc 2389, Kindle Edition)

"Being an engineer, Mary Jackson would eventually learn, meant being the only black person, or the only woman, or both, at industry conferences for years."
(loc 2607, Kindle Edition)

"Their employment represented an expansion of the very idea of who had the right to enlist in the country’s scientific workforce."
(loc 2922, Kindle Edition)

"In 1958, Katherine Goble finally made it into the editorial meetings of the Guidance and Control Branch of Langley’s Flight Research Division, soon to be renamed the Aerospace Mechanics Division of the nearly-ready-for-prime-time National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Now, she was going to come along with the program."
(loc 3174, Kindle Edition)
