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
