I want to go and find antique bookstores and beautiful coffee shops with cobbled streets. Actually I want a library with a secret doorway disguised as a bookshelf that leads to a large , hidden place , where i can go and hide forever and maybe i found a way to a strange ancient world.

did it hurt? when the little people inside your head refused to follow your carefully-plotted novel outline?

Giovanni Strazza, The Veiled Virgin, circa 1850, Presentation Convent, St. John's, Canada

This sculpture represents the Virgin Mary with a veil draped over her face. With her eyes closed and her head down... is she praying or grieving?

Although carved in marble, her veil looks as light and transparent as if it were real.

Sculpting veils like this one was popular among 19th century Italian sculptors because it allowed them to demonstrate their skill and show off how realistic they could make their statues.
