“It always makes me feel a little melancholy. Grand old war ship, being ignominiously hauled away to scrap… The inevitability of time, don’t you think? What do you see?”
“A bloody big ship.”
The spawn and I are visiting the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery for their last day of winter break. After spending a lot of time talking about the symbolism in portraiture, we talked about the symbolism of Turner, and then how that symbolism applied to Q and Bond.
I love this age, when they are so thoughtful but still think their mom is cool enough to geek out over art and fandom shenanigans with me. I have a few more years before I am persona non grata through the teen years... the inevitability of time indeed.
