I saw this sculpture in a cemetery and thought how wonderful to be portrayed as being so calm and tranquil. But then I reflected and thought how sad to be in such tight control of ones passions and emotions. The turbulence of life does leave it scars but we live and learn and learning is the golden ticket to happiness.
To me,demure women seem more appealing in statue form than in real life, I bet the sculptor was a man!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I aspire to the concept of being demure without actually having to practice it as a behavior. Life is just to much fun to consider sitting quietly thinking and being self reflective.
