Thank you, Suzanne, for converting Scottie's drawing into a
gif format and for making it available on your site, despite
your suspicions (which I hope have been dispelled by now).
And Scottie, I have to say I am truly amazed by your work.
It is really a lovely rendering, though I am intrigued that you
identified such a noble countenance with Seymour, with whom
you are less than impressed, rather than with, say, someone
who had spent his young manhood imagining himself to be
Lord Byron. I am doubly impressed that you to took the obvious
effort to produce something that could be called artwork (as
opposed to a visual pun, or merely a graphical opinion) for the
sake of showing interest in Suzanne's contest. Though I guess
I should not have been surprised, since your past habit of
commenting, hovever caustically at times, could also be seen
as simply giving posters the reassurance that they were not
posting into a vacuum - and a biting reply may be preferable to
the awful silence that prevails these days.
Of course, my favorite post was your last one. That little sabre-
rattling that immediately recalled the scene in Cyrano, where after
he has igorned Christian's taunts, his fellow guards return and
take advantage of the momentary good grace to ridicule his famous
proboscis. Ah, the growls are reassuring.
all the best,
Mattis
Cyrano and Seymour's widower
possessed love mixed with memory and desire,
