novembre ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- just sayin' Sometimes I wish that burkas were business-casual. "Above my desk is a small portrait -- Flemish, fifteenth-century. It never fails, when I gaze upon it, to produce a shudder, followed by a curious rush of warmth, recognition. Perhaps it is the serenity of expression or perhaps the head-covering -- a fragile habit framing the face like the folding wings of a large, diaphanous moth." 7:52 pm - 02.15.12 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
