In Paris, alone, five stories’ high, naked and taut, she perched like a still life gargoyle come to life.
The Naked Woman in Paris by Simmon Wagner
The Naked Woman in Paris has maturity only in hindsight. On this trip, I was very much in love with my wonderful husband, exploring Switzerland, Italy, France, Germany, Belgium, London and Paris, but in all our busyness, I had forgotten I need stillness too.
Paris awoke in me my stillness.
