The Greek word for "return" is nostos. Algos means "suffering." So nostalgia is the suffering caused by an unappeased yearning to return.

A childhood legend. He gave life to Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch.

Not so in England, at least not all the time. "In many ways, I have been put in exile in this country," he once said. He lived a quiet, even reclusive life in Lyme Regis, in an old Dorset house that overlooked the English Channel. He threw himself into his writing and the natural world, and developed a reputation as a bit of a grouch, a writer who shunned the public eye and did not look kindly on the tendency of readers to track him down and invite him for a drink.

With one arm on the back of a chair and the other arm akimbo, the unknown sitter in this portrait oozes a certain confidence. The artist, Bartholomeus van der Helst, has placed the sitter in front of a wall hung with drapery, with a view of the natural world. The glove is traditionally interpreted as an attribute of authority or social standing. Thus the removal of the glove can be seen as a symbol for the surrender of authority or as a sign of love and friendship. Come and recreate this pose in Room 23: https://bit.ly/2Qpre1H
