"Animals are such agreeable friends -- they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms."

"If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one

Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrows rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetimes argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are"

This is a really creepy doll photograph. Dad took it around 1972, I would have to guess. This was my sister Tracy's doll (she still has it). Don't know what the whole Yenta outfit is about or what the story is behind this creepy picture. I took the liberty of cleaning it up a bit in Photoshop.
