Quotation of the Day for June 26, 2010"The Provision House came as a welcome relief. Parts of it had survived since 1782 (which was decades better than almost anything in St John's). But it was empty now, just the clump of heels on wood, white schoolrooms, white corridors and bare rooms in the attic. We found a pram made out of fur, a map of the world in Inuktitut and a three-piece sealskin suit. It was like walking around in the mind of Man Ray, all that light and the oddities abandoned." - John Gimlette, on visiting an old Moravian mission in "Theatre of Fish: Travels through Newfoundland and Labrador".
