Leo Tolstoy

Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.
-Leo Tolstoy

 
I have been enjoying my time spent with each of my authors du jour.
I feel that I know them a little better and in a light that couldn't have been gleaned by even their most avid readers.
Which is what happens when you devote yourself to the curvature of someones nostrils for an indefinite amount of time. (Can you claim doing that with even the best of your friends?)
 Right now I'm working on a particularly distinguished nose and some troublesome bald patches belonging to my next author...any guesses?

    I love your idea for the authors' silhouettes and the great quotes from each! I can picture them framed and adding such distinction to someone's library. My guess on the next one is Edgar Allen Poe? Or perhaps, Alfred Lord Tennyson?
