Lurching Towards Valentine


Mon Ami Pierrot
Dreaming of leaving for Venice
Au Clair de la Lune
to win back Columbina?

Don Giovanni
Rehearsing his lines?
Pov'ra Elvira,
for he'll cajole her!

Lady Windermere's Fan
Is Lord Darlington
annoying her again?

in the store windows of
Martha Srna Modlitby's
Naglergasse

  1. I bet you get fed up, Merisi, of people saying things like 'superb and interesting photos' - but they really are.

    I spent a few days in Vienna years ago and have always vowed to return - one of these days I will

  2. Oh, such a tender look.
    All the photos are splendid & have the classic beauty to them.

  3. French Fancy,
    oh no, I'd never!

    I think anybody who takes the time to click on the comment box and leaves a note says something with that act alone. I know myself how hard it is to come up with something "original" - it's the thought that counts, isn't it?

    So, merci! :-)

  10. I won't be original and I'll simply say GRAZIE Merisi for another elegant post. Being an opera/commedia dell'arte fan, the imagery of your protagonists sing to me! Ah, and Don Giovanni... my boyfriend!

    Ciao
    E xx
