Does the recent makeover of the Oval Office count as just one?
I think he has gilded many. Always gilded, though, never actually gold
I like metaphors. I respect a good “run with a metaphor” post. But I feel like if you have to explain the metaphor this much during the post it’s not worth it
True. This particular lily was less gilded than battered and deep fried.
"This post could have been a tweet", and so on.
It's a lovely metaphor for the soulful business of doing something really well, even if there is no 'market' for that kind of quality
Art is often its own reward.
