beauty’s antiquity

1 octobre 2008

i walked through the gardens of the louvre today, about a ten minute walk from school. it was wonderful walking between the oversized buildings and sculptures of old charm and wrought iron character. all the while, i kept asking myself, ‘when will i begin taking such beauty for granted?’  i kept walking, found a vacant bench of concrete and sat. les enfants de maternelle m’ont passe les touristes m’ont passe les couples m’ont passe les gens du pays m’ont passe aussi. et je m’asseyais la pendant qu’il commencait a pleuvoir. c’etait calme. c’etait reparateur.
