Speaking of beauty prevailing, last night I was trying to coax myself to
sleep. I was going through some of the uncollected stories and found this
nice line in The Stranger:
"There was never a way, even back in the beginning, that a man could
condition himself against the lethal size and shape and melody of beauty by
chance."
Very appropriate fo Mirjam and Rick. (And the rest of us, Thor included,
lest we forget.)
Solid handshakes.
