<< Perhaps the nature of the epiphany is that good
artists -- like the flower girl and Sister Irma -- must go unrecognized,
unpraised, even unseen, if they are to remain good artists. This is why
the parish terminated Sister Irma's enrollment, and why D-Smith cut the
rest of his students loose once he got back to the art school. By seeking
some sort of praise for their efforts, they are damaging the very spirit
that (would have) made them good artists.
Am I making any sense? Does anyone buy this claim? Does anyone prefer the
foot thing? >>
That's pretty good and it helps me with the story...
