On the City Pattern Project: Wrought Iron in Snow
22Jan09
In which The Gay Recluse freezes to death.

I think that the irony is this:
That the ones that appear to our human eyes to be the most solid, are the ones that are really the most insubstantial, and the ones that are seemingly insubstantial, are the ones that are really true.
