PORTRAIT OF A LINEAGE, Part 2


067/365


Andy
An admittedly strange photo today, but I was influenced by this poem. If the poem was not in turn inspired by the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box," than it's a great coincidence. I believe Holmes is said to own a Stradivarius in the story, and as the title would suggest cardboard is also involved. A woman is sent a box with two severed ears inside, hence this odd photo.

I return to the poetry of Sonja Eisenberg today for part 2 of this Portrait. The poem (here performed by me), is:

Do you recognize this violin
A Stradivarius?
Here's a puzzle:
Which sound could burst
Our card board bubble?
