“To find beauty in ugliness is the province of the poet.” – Thomas Hardy


From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:
September 23
There is no such thing as a photograph or a statue or a painting of Abraham Lincoln in which his tie is straight and more than85% of his hair is in place. [He apparently combed his hair with his fingers – which, of course, were invented long before pocket combs.] Think of the $5 bill, the Lincoln Memorial statue, Mount Rushmore.
Photogenic, he wasn’t.

‘Beauty is not caused. It is.
- Emily Dickinson
