To Rachel, for her wonderfully succinct summation (is that a tautology - or just a complete strangulation of words?) of the skull and butterflies sculpture. You said: It is an illustration of man's ability to create beauty transcending death. Or maybe you got that from the artist - in which case, you've shown huge initiative!
Your prize? A copy of THE PRINCE'S CHAMBERMAID. Can you email me your address and I'll send it?
And thanks to everyone else who contributed.
Yipee! Woo hoo and a big hoppity skip!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful woman you are, Sharon.
And clever.
I had to look up 'tautology', you know--I clearly have a long way to go with this wordsmithing business!
Many, many thanks and will email my address asap.
Lots of love,
Rach.

Ah, Rachel - I confess to only discovering the meaning of tautology when the late, great Giles Gordon accused me of using one when I described a room as being like a "decadent bordello".
ReplyDeleteMy faint pleas that a bordello COULD be innocent or even morally upright were scorned....
The book is in the post!
