Ephrastic April, Day 20: "Farmhouse and Car"

"Farmhouse and Car" (1933) by Prudence Heward [1896-1947].

nothing was ever
quite level or square

but curtains crisp
and freshly washed gave
the house a warmth

recognizable as home

Beautiful response, Diane. I saw your pic on FB & had to see the painting bigger! It is a favorite so far! Your focus on the few important things is always special.

Interesting Idea

I don’t use the term as an insult — the American idiot. I mean it in a precise way, as I try to remind people. For the Greeks, "idiot" carried a precise and special meaning. The person who was only interested in private life, private gain, private advantage. Who had no conception of a public good, common wealth, shared interest. To the Greeks, the pioneers of democracy, the creators of the demos, such a person was the most contemptible of all. Because even the Greeks seemed to understand: you can’t make a functioning democracy out of...idiots.
