My dear friend came over last night to help us watch the Cotton Bowl (Ole Miss 21-OSU 7) and exchange Christmas presents.
As usual, the talk turned to books and she informed us she was reading The Fellowship - which has nothing to do with hobbits or Gandalf. It is about the Taliesan fellowship of architects formed by FLW.
She mentioned Victor Hugo (Hunchback of Notre Dame, Les Miserables)
"Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book."

And, of course, the conversation wound up with The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand. This is the bestselling novel based on Frank Lloyd Wright written in English by a Russian refugee from the Bolshevik revolution. (more about this later.)
I just wanted to get this down now, mainly to brag about Ole Miss and Dexter McCluster.
O,and before my brother notes it, the above picture is not from the Cotton Bowl where Mr. M. made a flying leap into the endzone, but from another game. I couldn't find the picture from yesterday's game on the web.
I was a little bit afraid they would penalize Dexter for "unsportsmanlike conduct" when he leaped over the heads of the opposing team players to fly into the end zone. That actually happened in another game.
ReplyDeleteThat guy has got incredible speed, dexterity and quickness. BB
Yes, and the reason we like to watch without the commentary is that we find our selves actually watching the game without waiting for the exclamatory statements from the press box. We SEE the events as they happen, and for the most part resent the instant replay because we're wanting to "get on with it." Ole Miss always seems to have one guy upon which they all depend. What will happen next year? Dexter has been fun to watch tho.
