“One face cries nothing, Prospero …”

One face cries nothing, Prospero,

My conscience is my own;

Pallid Sebastian does not know

The dream in which Antonio

Fights the white bull alone.

— from Antonio’s refrain in “The Sea and the Mirror,” by W. H. Auden

A friend of mine crafted this phoenix to top her Christmas tree.

And I think it’s really flippin’ cool.

Sigh … yes, it is indeed a Harry Potter reference. Her entire Christmas tree has a Harry Potter theme. But I am pretending it’s the classical phoenix. Or even an emblem for Phoenix, Arizona.

The girl’s got talent. Someday when I become a wealthy author, I want to hire her to decorate my house for Halloween.
