[Candle in the wind]

This is an amazing collage of word pictures so beautifully evocative.The impact arises from the apparent abruptness of the words and the piercing clarity.No wonder it is so beautiful since it aws inspired by soomething so stunning "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn."

[Pauline Marie Daley]
