Thought for the Day




This delightful verbal image of W.H. Auden's sent me in search of an appropriately fetching photo:

      "Unshaven horsemen swill the great wines 
       of the Chateaux."

I can imagine a movie whose plot that is—maybe something like The Horseman on the Roof, The Four Musketeers, and The Princess Bride combined, with soundtrack by Jonas Kaufmann (my favorite unshaven tenor).
