    Dearest V
    What a Byzantine holy beauty she is too, her halo made silver by the screen.
    Divine!
    Yours ever

      She was a little pixie-woman, but damn! The persona she projected was extraordinary 😉

        I am flattered.Its a lovely word exotic and esoteric at the same time.I think its use is not just confined to C hristian images,but also appears in Buddhism and other religious traditions.I think{I would have to check this out} it may have had some hypothetical solar origins.

    Nimbus after nimbus.We are being spoiled.I have always preferred the term nimbus over halo-its more exotic.Now just what is the correct plural of nimbus I wonder?

      I picked up “nimbus” from you!

    I have a good line in only used once ones.One careful and saintly owner that sort of thing.Try on another some time and see if it fits.
