I NEED MORE MUSICAL HAMMBURR

I was reading Thomas Jefferson's medical history and found that relatively a lot of his medical problems were because of his fancies in girls:

[Had] Violent headache for two days after behaving awkwardly in front of a girl he fancied (March 1764, age 20).

And also

Jefferson broke his wrist in Paris in summer 1785 ... He was trying to jump a fence while touring Paris with a married woman. [The married woman being Maria Cosway who Jefferson loved]

You all don't understand how much I like this song

Well, that was expected.

Somebody buy me some bromine. Pls I beg you 🙏 😔

guarantee you that every time Tom butchered a public speech he thought the 18th century equivalent of “heh… i guess im just a misunderstood lone wolf”

Marius on the ruins of Carthage

“Like Marius in the ruins of Carthage, Chase thought, without any precise historical analogy in mind, as he stood in front of the marble fireplace and looked up at the spot where the painting of Kate’s mother would hang, once the boxes, trunks and crates had been opened and unpacked. Everything that he had owned in Ohio had been shipped to Washington. One way or another, he thought, he would be here to the end.”

This illustration was specifically inspired by Gore Vidal’s depiction and characterization of Chase in the novel Lincoln (which the excerpt above was taken from). Till now I have to say his character understanding of Chase is not entirely the same as mine, but his depiction was my earliest and most fascinating (though toxic af) inspiration for my version of Chase. I referenced and took inspiration from this painting of John Vanderlyn on such a subject and the comments here I found was quite interesting, and I believe Gore Vidal had meant to make this attempt lol!!
