Looking at a your feet, I noticed something
about them.
Peering beyond the flannel hedgehogs I noticed that you have
‘Classical Feet’.
A foot from somewhere in the British Museum |
What do I mean by this? Well, your feet
subscribe to an idyll, which I learned about in Peter Ackroyd’s Blake. He (William
Blake) had discussed at length the dimensions and proportions of the toes when
drawing feet. If you imagine a foot, the big toe is often the longest. This is
the case for most people, including me. But in classical or Greek art, the second toe is longer than the big one,
so it creates a more beautiful shape. Look at any classical statue and you will
see this. Next time you are at the Statue of Liberty say, have a peek under her
sandals.
Before Blake, Swedenborg connected the toe
of the left foot with the genitals.
He followed Kabbalistic teaching in which
the foot functions as a euphemism for the phallus, while the toes represent the
Ten Demonic Powers.
Now I’m not for one minute suggesting you
have a cock down your panties but you do have a Classical foot. In fact, you have
two.
You have always been a Classical beauty to
me, but this only confirms it.
