TT: Lost illusions

September 20, 2005 by Terry Teachout

I’d hoped to put together a nice big juicy posting of links to other artblogs and art-related sites, but it just didn’t happen and won’t until tomorrow, if then. Lots of other things happened instead, nearly all of them work-related, though two were strictly private: I picked up my new Bonnard lithograph (which is now being framed) and got my hair cut, the latter a mere two weeks late! I looked soooo unkempt and uncared-for a mere twenty-four hours ago, but now I’m nice and neat again….


Anyway, I doubt I’ll have anything more for you until Wednesday, but hope springs eternal. In the meantime, go look at some of those other cool blogs listed in the right-hand column, O.K.?

TT: Almanac

September 20, 2005 by Terry Teachout

“It may have been observed that there is no regular path for getting out of love as there is for getting in. Some people look upon marriage as a short cut that way, but it has been known to fail.”


Thomas Hardy, Far from the Madding Crowd
