Taurus Bull's Eye (1.08)

DateSaturday, May 9, 2009 at 11:22AM

Jasper Johns, TargetAnecdote of two Tauruses: Mme de Stael, notorious conversational bulldozer, extorted four words from the famously taciturn Duke of Wellington ("who was scarcely known to speak"). 'Let me go away,' he cried, on hearing her announced. (in V. Woolf, Books and Portraits ) Illustrates the physical, Taurean principle that two material objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time.

You seem to have a biased aversion toward Taurus. However, it is just one of twelve signs that represent everyone, not just people with suns in Taurus.

Mark,

Your blog has wonderfully sophisticated charm, wit, and whimsy. Is lyrical and defies being boxed in!

How oh so Gemini of you............ I will be back for more.
