Dreams

politicalprof:

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Langston Hughes (1926)

For today’s Mustache Monday, let us introduce Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), Norwegian playwrite, author of A Doll’s House and Hedda Gabler, among others. Clearly, electrified hair = great theater (see also: Peter Sellers).
This photo is one of over 260 portraits of notable figures collected by radical publisher Benjamin R. Tucker in the late 19th century. Check them out here.
