Many thanks for your kind lines, dear Pam and for Hodinus' lovely photos, the best I have been given since ages! Very good the Dutch article, too. We both are home for a while after hard work at Cologne but upset about the criminal sacrifice of the Hungarian people by 'Western Democracy'. But the West is hopping and wish-thinking in an 'abstract' world, the world as it's depicted in 'modern' art. Nobody minds deformation any longer, it suits the masochist mentality so. Love, yours, OK
