In one picture, the pool was half hidden by a fringe of mace- weeds, and the dead willow was leaning across it at a prone, despondent angle, as if mysteriously arrested in its fall towards the stagnant waters. Beyond, the alders seemed to strain away...
The night before a biochemistry class, I read the lecture notes from last year. I look at the pictures in the book. I read some of the book. Now, I've got the general concept. Sure...There's a couple of details to fill in and a few things to memorize...
Sydney's the kind of port that leaves a mark on a sailor," the old man mused. "Really?" Haakon said, wondering what the man meant. "It did on me," he said, opening up his shirt to display his chest. It was covered with tattoos! At the top, SYDNEY was...
Knowing what I do now, I think about shame and worthiness in this way: 'It's the album, not the picture.' If you imagine opening up a photo album, and many of the pages are full eight-by-ten photos of shaming events, you'll close that album and walk ...
Art's cruel. You can get away with murder with words. But a picture is like a window straight through to your inmost heart.
A picture of a complete apple tree, however accurate, is in a certain sense much less like the tree itself than is a little daisy.
This women's orchestra made a demure picture in their muted dove grays, alright, but they played like they were gowned in scarlet and gold.
Your mother won a special reward," she told me, "because everyone had a head in her pictures. We all applauded.
