Ah oui, Le Cantique des Cantiques.
"Je suis noire, mais je suis belle, filles de Jérusalem,
Comme les tentes de Kédar, comme les pavillons de Salomon."
Oi, Glhrm Qndt. Obrigada pela visita e pelo comentário. Fica lindo isso em francês. :)
how cool that i came to this accidentally--trying to find images by F.-L. Schmied.... i guess i'm going to have to go through your whole archive to get an education
Searches are my best friends, I get most of my visitors through them. Hope you find lots of stuff to enjoy.
