WOLFE'S ANGEL

"...by the door, he put the heavy simpering figure of an angel.

...it had come from Carrara in Italy, and it held a

stone lily delicately in one hand.

The other hand was lifted in benediction,

it was poised clumsily upon the ball of one phthisic foot,

and its stupid white face wore a smile of soft stone idiocy."

From Look Homeward, Angel

Forward to William Oliver Wolfe, Thomas Wolfe’s Father.

The angel now stands in Oakdale Cemetery in Hendersonville, NC

GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS

I took a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway today and had breakfast at the Pisgah Inn. Great breakfast with this picture as my view - not bad!

The scenery along the Parkway is lush and green!
