I bet she had a ton when she could and couldn't bear that the solarium was bare! I loved reading this!!! Ms. Beautiful. I especially love the 4th stanza about the transformed audience. No one else has ever done that justice before.

It is full of fascinating details and glimpses of life as it is lived, yet it's also surreal and magical. The documentary(?) of that amazing house was just beyond belief--so much glass, so much light, and all just abandoned to the forces of entropy. Thanks for the spellbinding trip into another dimension.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-29892187177484542592014-06-26T16:29:56.283-04:002014-06-26T16:29:56.283-04:00gosh, what a marvelous journey through a life - tr...gosh, what a marvelous journey through a life - tragic and beautiful all the same.TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.com
