satisfiedWalter Pater, from "Conclusion" to The Renaissance (1873):
Experience, already reduced to a swarm of impressions, is ringed round for each one of us by that thick wall of personality through which no real voice has ever pierced its way to us, or from us to that which we can only conjecture to be without. Every one of these impressions is the impression of the individual in his isolation, each mind keeping as a solitary prisoner its own dream of a world.

I've been looking for a nice cage FOREVER. That's pretty cool looking. Congrats on the prop! :)
Luckily I don't have enough furniture to fill up my living room right now, so as long as I don't care about having people over (or having chairs for them to sit on), I'm okay for cage space.
Poor boy, he needs someone to release him.
I love your avatar picture. Yum.
Also, I truly have to wonder why I got the traumatized PTSD Yukinojo, and you got the Sexy French Vanilla Sundae Yukinojos. Yukinoji. WhatEVER.
^__^
Pater was on my mind this week, because we were talking about isolation and consciousness in my Dickens class on Tuesday. I like my specialty area a lot.
I think the next one to go in the cage will be Lyon in his onmyoji getup. Talk about implied storylines!
Onmyoji are/were the sorcerer-priest-sages of medieval Japan . . . masters of yin & yang, the balance of power in the universe. They wore doofy-looking tall pointy hats, but were otherwise quite dressy (if one believes the movies).
The movies (Onmyoji and Onmyoji II are fun in a junk-food sort of way. Very pretty to look at and a nice way to spend a rainy afternoon, especially if you don't expect too much in the way of logic.
Come to think of it, there's a Feral Boy in Onmyoji II! Hmmmm.
Leeda volunteers to console him.
And Leeda's consolation would be more than acceptable, LOL. I think part of Kanbei's problem is that the only woman around here is Claudine, who stubbornly insists on staying 14 until hell freezes over. Besides, Claudine has no patience with angst and inner torment; she would tell him to snap out of it and take her to the mall.
I see you have some of JesseC jeans. Have you had any trouble with staining?
I love those jeans, but fear that the dye will stain the doll...plus, I'm too lazy to make some.
I seriously love this doll...^^
Yukinojo is truly, truly wonderful. I feel as if I'm neglecting the others, because Kanbei is so much fun to play with.
(Actually, he looked so sad this morning that I felt guilty and sat him on the couch for the day. I'm such a dork.)
