What a beautiful picture! Do you mind me saying that this drawing actually gave me a little inspiration for my story with the butterfly and all? And of course, there's that beautiful line "Could I create myself anew, I would not fail in pleasing you."

Yep, chapter nineteen in "The Bread of Kindness" when Lola gave him that butterfly craft was a call-out to this lovely picture! I love his reaction in that chapter when Lola gives him the craft, then gives him a kiss and wishes him Merry Christmas. What a sweet lady!

I'm very late, but yes, the world lost something very beautiful 109 years ago.

Bless him.

I'm not sure. But I know it goes like this:

Tis true my form is something odd,
but blaming me is blaming God.
Could I create myself anew,
I would not fail in pleasing you.
