Portrait of the artist as a middle-age man.

James Joyce, patrician poet, pensive and taciturn; agnostic eye
seemingly focused inward, the depth of his soul known but to himself.
Marvelous capture of both the man and the moment.

"to what reason she chose Sartre?"
I once met Algren while at university and he fielded all questions,
including his relationship with de Beauvoir. She was the love of his life,
and I presume Algren remained in Simone's heart.

I have been captivated by pictures of the young Queen Elizabeth since i was a little girl. At first, the fascination was because i believed she looked so much like my own Mother. And i loved her because my Mother loved her. She told me the story over and over of her coronation, which took place at a time when Newfoundland, where i was born, was still a British colony. Over her life, she has exemplified grace and dedication and an unfaltering sense of duty. I still love my Queen today, but it is the photos of her as a young woman and mother that i love the most.
