It Will Never Pass Into Nothingness--Ekphrasis 3.



"Life is always a tightrope or a feather bed. Give me the tightrope."

This is the red-velvet portrait of Edith Wharton, born on this day in 1862.

"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that receives it."

Oh, my. I'm so happy to have stumbled upon your blog (although I came here to thank you for your kind comment on mine!). I saw, first, that you have Ecclesiastes as a favorite book -- you might be the first person I've ever "met" that would list that. And Harmoniom. Wow. So now I'm going to read your blog and catch up.
