The bold-face in the title is my addition.Really Melcher, sometimes I want to scream!! — a man, when maybe 71, didn’t know he only had 3 more years, but still …, paints a portrait with his daughters, probably to commemorate some occasion, and you say Caravaggio was a jerk?? — look in a mirror to see one.Perhaps I’ve been doing this too long and it’s starting to show.
“It was the first and the last time they saw each other face to faceThey shared a crimson smile and just walked awayAnd left the secret at the graveAnd the preacher said he was a good manAnd his brother said he was a good friendBut the women in the two black veils, they didn’t bother to cryBye bye, Bye byeYeah they took turns laying a rose downThrew a handful of dirt into the deep groundHe’s not the only one who had a secret to hideBye bye, bye bye, bye bye”
I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but hear these lyrics when I saw their two red smiles :) Poor guy doesn’t know what’s coming.
