caution: steps

work on good prose has three steps: a musical stage when it is composed, an architectonic one when it is built, and a textile one when it is woven.

Musical notation in itself looks like an architectural plan, and I think when it is played it is a surrounding structure.

Hello,

My name is Soleil and I work at Marina Bailey Film Publicity.

We are promoting a new film, SERAPHINE, which recounts the story of French naive painter Seraphine Louis aka Seraphine de Senlis.

The film opens in Los Angeles on June 5th, and we would love to invite you to our upcoming screening.

Would it be possible to receive your email address to send you the invite?

If you would like to respond to me directly, my email address is pr@marinabailey.com.

Thank you!

Soleil

Lovely. I suspect when some mathematical genius comes up with the perfect formula, we will discover that a picture is worth exactly seventeen syllables.
