Frances Leviston for Tyler
It seems to matter I use a Zippo, not the taper’s monkish flame.
It seems to matter I choose the white over red before asking the difference,
that I love the fresco’s talented horse though couldn’t name his rider –
but what’s not authentic at the Virgin’s feet? She knows I am not a bad person, just troubled. She knows the wick is burning.
Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: taken in the Musee Toulouse Lautrec, Albi.
A still life, by Utter.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the ecclesiastical fortress that is the Cathedral of St Cecilia, in Albi, France.
After extirpating the Albigensians, the Catholic Church built this statement of intent, and rammed their message home. Its interior utterly belies its aggressive exterior - displaying a gloriously delicate and even playful Gothic decoration (rood screen and choir).
Today's Flickr photo with the most hits is a view of Albi (of Albigensians fame) from the river. It shows the Bishop's Palace (now the Musee Henri Toulouse-Lautrec). Glorious place to visit, and the city's cathedral is a fortress outside and a gothic wonder within.
Today’s Flickr photo with the most hits was taken in Albi, France, and shows the parterre of the Bishop's Palace / Musee Toulouse Lautrec, with a diligent gardener trimming the box hedges.

Filippa, Faïs, Esclarmonde, Les plus rares, que l'on put voir, Beautés du monde ;
Mais toi si pâle encor d'avoir Couru la lune l'autre soir Aux quatre rues,
Écoute : au bruit noir des chansons Satan flagelle tes soeurs nues ; Viens, et dansons
