This is does not conclude Giselle's account of going to the opera, although it begins it. The opera account is 1) long and 2) wicked important. But it fulfills and exceeds my word-to-date goal! *fingers crossed for the future!*
Edited to add: A quick note on the side by Nauld Dumain re: Giselle's going on and on and on about what clothes she wore.
Well, well, well, well, well! (A very deep well, apparently.) Highly intriguing! Dr. Snow is quite the enigma. I look forward to finding out what caused him to dump Luce. Or for Luce to dump him. (I bet she's acting like she's dumping him. Somehow, I doubt he really cares for her that much anymore. And she seems quite showy to me. Still, she's probably quite spiteful. Anyway.) The man-tiger thing is intriguing. I'd like to read more about him if Giselle can spare her attention from Dr. Snow. And that opera sounds quite interesting in and of itself. I'd like to hear more about it.
ReplyDeleteI was highly interested in Giselle's descriptions of how beautiful the opera building was and how it pulled her toward thoughts of a greater and higher Beauty than even what she saw around her. Which, let's face it, is what any truly good Art does. Which further leads to the question, is any art that smacks of the former ruling regime suppressed? I'm under the impression that anything that inspires the mind and soul to things higher and greater is either forbidden or severely criticized. In any case.
Clearly, this isn't all there is to be said about the opera escapade. I will possess my soul in patience as best I can and hope that some time for this story can be eked out in future.
