...that is Lorca's hallmark. The imagery that surprises in print, astonishes in pictures. Lorca's Ode to Walt Whitman, for example, goes: "Not for one moment, beautiful aged Walt Whitman, have I failed to see your beard full of butterflies." And there is Prieto's Whit man, bewilderingly beautiful with butterflies snared in his flowing beard. The Shoemaker's Prodigious Wife, meanwhile, has starlings nestling in her hair in a delightful depiction of a popular Spanish saying describing a frivolous

Like Mrs. Rosekrans, Mrs. Christian de Guigne III cites World War II as the only period in her life when things were any less elegant than today. Certain facets, in fact, have not changed a whit: her servants have been with her for close to 25 years; her San Mateo home is the one she moved into as a bride; the French chateau the family visit every year has been theirs for a century.
