"One never forgets a compliment. 'You looked positively beatific during the exam,' Mrs. Finch, her tenth-grade English told her. 'Staring out the window, a secret little smile on your smile. I was worried, to tell the truth. But then you turned in the best of the bunch.'" Thus, beatific--blissful, saintly, serenely happy--was forever and irrevocably hers" (from Ms. Hempel Chronicles by Sarah Shun-lien Bynum).
About Me
- Naomi S
- A few things I know for sure. That revolving doors make me nervous. That, sometimes, it takes courage to do the simplest things. That the moment in a theatre before the stage lights come on is exquisite. That poetry is often "one short step to the good ground (May Swenson)." That I love swimming anywhere but especially in swimming pools.
