RE: Two Portraits & Serendipitous Friendship
Thanks, I know you are busy and this was a long post, so I appreciate you taking the time. I have one final post about Juliet, in the next one she encounter the "father of abstract expressionism" :-)
Crazy you even write that, but I do understand. I can see it in my children that they simply have to make a greater effort to read than we did. We are bombarded with politics, information, and entertainment all the time.
I tend to choose my battles and then I stop looking while working. The whole weekend has gone by with me arguing with my youngest daughter, cycling more than 50 kilometres, seeing some family, and getting up in the night because both girls were ill :) I enjoyed reading about these highly spiritually over-sensitive people from a hundred years ago. They would never consider a small text like this cumbersome!
So sorry your girls are ill, I hope they recover soon and are ready to cycle again this coming weekend.
You're absolutely right about the people from that era, I so admire their social grace and eloquence.
Well, in the end I got the same flu like cough and snotty nose - and my wife too actually.
There was always an admiration for the past (the Romans had their gold age too), but admiration is educative I think.
