From Amazon in Belgium I can order this as a "Canvas Wall Art Print for Living Room Home Decor Ready to Hang (90 x 117 cm (31.5 x 46.1 in)), Framed" for just €191.26. I think of buying it, to see if it does for me what another portrait did for Dorian Gray. But then, but then. At 81 it's probably too late to weave any magic it might have had on me, even though the web- site says it's a great gift idea for Valentine's Day which just happens to be today. What finally turns me away is a sudden vision of the aging process occuring — since we have no attic — in the back garden shed, the teeth at first, then the lungs, the hearing, the knees. It's not the actual deterioration, rather the caveat from the vendor: that spare parts are not available nor provided.
