You Can Go Home Again
I'm going to have to side with my great great uncle, Thomas Wolfe, and say that in truth, You Can't Go Home Again. However, we can maintain the connections to our history, which definitely helps to keep things in context and provides a centering and calming effect. Thanks for the enjoyable article
Just a beautiful article and amazing piece on Rockwell. His critics work sits in the basement of many a museum, unseen and unloved while Rockwell's can sit on the main floor of any building and be loved by all.
And Belle is just beautiful.
And Belle is just beautiful.
Rockwell won the hearts of his times, and still wins hearts of new generations with a glimpse into the past. Beautiful Belle also wins hearts on sight. What a gal. Dogs, cats, horses and other companion animals are older species than us and teach us if we pay attention.
lawdawg, Thomas Wolfe was your great uncle? That's a nice distinction indeed. I love his mother's boarding house where he grew up in Asheville, and that they restored it after it was apparently torched a good while back. When you tour the place, you really get a feeling for the people and the time. What an interesting guy he was, so accomplished in a short life. The Thomas Wolfe Award is still coveted by writers nationwide. My older sister read me some of his work when she was in high school, that I later read myself. There's an episode in his novel, a stinging parody of an artist who performs at solons in New York with a little puppet circus made out of wire figures -- turns out that was Calder (!) the eminent artist and sculpture, who apparently outranged Wolfe in his twenties as too artsy. Wolfe is always interesting in many ways. I'm a fan of Calder's work, but I didn't have to watch his puppet circus either.
