Without the benefit of your mother in my childhood, I didn't know about Palladian windows. I'm so glad to learn about them. Palladian windows with blind sides seem especially intriguing.<br /> I did know that Greek sculptures shouted with color - chanced upon that information late into adulthood - but the only form of "fenestration" whose meaning I knew was "defenestration".<br /> You say, your mother is still here but she's gone. The thing is, although I've never met her, your mother is still wonderfully here for me. What a treat!LSS riverrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759182919152148433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388911214526917517.post-34531169449792910752018-11-05T17:25:20.893-05:002018-11-05T17:25:20.893-05:00I was waiting to learn about fenestration, or at l...I was waiting to learn about fenestration, or at least the fenestration you were subject to. Wish you could have taken your mom to the sculpture show at MOMA, the one with all the polychromatic forms. She would have loved it and agreed.<br /> She must talk to a few white male supremacists about the color of Jesus.

I agree that you should read her "The New Yorker" article anyway. Emily Dickinson said that the "brain is wider than the sky." Who knows what residues of her knowledge might still be found? In any case, her observations live on in you, and for that great gift, your readers are grateful!

You were right on the money. Isn't it strange and to me fine that the Native Americans in two reservations may hold the key to the Senate if they are allowed to have their say...<br /><br />LillaMichael FR Newboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172786404627414839noreply@blogger.com
