The Uncanny

A book by Andew Klavan.

"And I had a vision standing there, and I realized that the world I knew was over, that the best of civilization was done. Europe was sick of itself and done.  Its will to greatness was spent.  And I thought to myself: There will be no more Raphaels, not ever.  No paintings worthy of him, ever again.  There'll be no more great operas written, or symphonies composed.  No odes like Keats's odes, no plays like Shakespeare's.  Never.  People will forget how to love them, I thought.  They're already forgetting.  They're learning to love smaller things, baser things, and they're becoming smaller, baser things themselves.  One day they'll squat in circles on the ground and hold the relics of the old treasures in their hands and they'll grunt to one another and say, 'What was this? Who thought that this was good?'  Like apes gawking at a broken lyre."

I thought of you the minute I saw this.  I am sorry that I do not know who created it.

Snitzel

For everyone who has been waiting for a companion to Weeener, there is Snitzel.  Snitzel is a hybrid Soom Dolomi with DaisyDayes hooves.  Snitzel is out and about and is off being painted.

Here is a sneak peek of Snitzel visiting with the artist's Heliots.

Can you guess which fine artist will be painting Snitzel?
