Good Night & Farewell. To the Staircase I Bid You Adieu.
Beautifully poetic and just as confusing though making perfect sense as always, Wit of the Staircase graced her Children of the Staircase with a post of T.S. Elliot
But Gilding Should like to close out the year with this rememberance of Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake (a.k.a. Mr. & Mrs. Wit) instead:
“ Jeremy and Theresa often had small parties at their place in Venice and when I had the pleasure of attending, it felt like the best place to be in the world. They could throw together an after-dinner party in the blink of an eye with a bottle of champagne, a bag of potato chips, great conversation and a log for the fire. House arrest at their place would have been a treat. It was filled with curious things; books stacked everywhere, art, photographs, music, their dog Tuesday and much evidence of a loving and creative life together. “
