Look, just because it's old doesn't mean it's "Art Deco". Art Nouveau, Arts & Craft, Mid Century Modern, Postmodern, and Retro-Futurism are all not "Art Deco".
@khendarian I like to set obtainable goals.
Norman Vincent Peale: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.”
Me: "The entire crew of Apollo 1 burned to death on the launch pad."
@KenShepherd The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Listened and talked with every sort of man,
And kept his heart a secret to the end
From all the picklocks of biographers."
— Stephen Vincent Benét
(On Robert E. Lee)
From his epic, 15,000-line blank verse poem: 'John Brown’s Body'.
And so we get the marble man again,
The head on the Greek coin, the idol-image,
The shape who stands at Washington's left hand,
Worshipped, uncomprehended and aloof,
A figure lost to flesh and blood and bones,
Frozen into a legend out of life,
A blank-verse statue
Pinned down, mapped out, easy to understand—
And so you have.
All things except the heart.
The heart he kept himself, that answers all.
For here was someone who lived all his life
In the most fierce and open light of the sun,
Wrote letters freely, did not guard his speech,
