The capriccios

They have made up their minds to kill this good women.
After judgement was pronounced, she was dragged through the streets in triumph.
She has indeed earned a triumph.
If they do this to shame her, they are wasting their time.
Nothing can make her ashamed who as nothing to be ashamed of.

Goya once drew a picture of an ancient Man tottering along under the burden of years, but with the accompanying Caption " I'm Still learning "
That old man was himself.
To the end of a long life, he went on dreaming.

Was very nice to get back to my old Goya's Etchings
I remember when I saw them for the first time, it was as if I had never seen an etching before .
Now when the days are cold and I feel lonely or in a quiet mood I retreat to them.
Together with my first ever CD from Callas " Tosca " by Puccini and some hot tea.
I transport myself to a world were I feel calm and with no Fear.
