The Epiphany Album !

[piperdbh]

...Epiphany is from the Greek επιφανεια or επιφανός (I think that's right; it's been decades since I studied Greek) which is, as pointed out, a revealing or uncovering...

...which lead to the common use of epiphany as a sudden understanding or realization; an unobscuring of something that had been hidden or misunderstood.

Robert, those are beautiful pictures, as always. One of my students saw them and asked, "Does he live in the 19th century?" Thanks for sharing your holiday with us.

yes... I am very sentimentally attached to the naive Victorian Celtic revival look... amongst other things !

Thank you all for your sweet comments. I try to keep up the standard, as we say.


Best,

James Joyce, for example, was famous for the epiphanies experienced by his characters; one of the most famous comes from his best short story (INMHO), "The Dead", which was made into a delightful movie by the late John Houston.
