Wow! That was quite a day. "For male beauty, give me the Pre-Raphaelites, Burne-Jones, and their followers." I adore them also. Just so much fun to look at. What a treat to see those tapestries.

You would not believe! And Morris made these things mass-market, or approaching it. Accessible. The best of the Industrial Revolution.

What a gorgeous post, so beautifully worded. Your description of Epsteins's bronze Lucifer was simply incredible!

I guess Epstein made something extraordinary and it moved me. Thank you Lethe.

Plus, Bujold, a writer who ranks in my top two favourites, wrote a gorgeous fantasy about a bronze casting and the smith who made it. A complex, moving love story, and not one with a wholly happy ending.

This Lucifer is eloquent of much that lies behind the story of his fall. He was said to have 'power over light' and was an angel of great power and beauty.

That is what came across so strongly in your writing - very Milton.

Today was amazing, though more domestic. And how was work?

A lot better than yesterday - in fact a million times better and the complaint was dismissed.
