Conceived as a Dutch door to nowhere, the work scissored out into the space it was intended to define, as though moving through a looking glass. |
One would expect brilliant reflections in a looking glass owned by the marquise and depicted by Boucher, not murky half-lights. |
He found the looking glass easy enough, though why it was intact he couldn't say. |
But in the end, when we gaze into the looking glass, we are interested in the reflections mainly because they are ours. |
Gifts of a pair of scissors or a looking glass were made to the caciques or village headmen from time to time to keep them friendly. |
Frankie was to blame for all of this, the one looking back at me through the looking glass. |
