SciFi and Fantasy Art ´The angel was the only one who took no part in his own act.´ by Alyson L. Hoffman

'The angel was the only one who took no part in his own act. He spent his time trying to get comfortable in his borrowed nest, befuddled by the hellish heat of the oil lamps and sacramental candles that had been placed along the wire. At first they tried to make him eat some mothballs, which, according to the wisdom of the wise neighbor woman, were the food prescribed for angels. But he turned them down, just as he turned down the papal lunches that the pentinents brought him, and they never found out whether it was because he was an angel or because he was an old man that in the end ate nothing but eggplant mush.'

-from 'The Old Man With Enormous Wings' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

22 Jun 2005	Audrey L. Whitham	Loading... i feel sorry for him they abuse him. Good drawing. I think the author won a pulitzer for this story. Alyson L. Hoffman replies: "I really need to reply sooner.Anyhoo, if you feel sympathy for him despite him not being particularly attractive-looking, then I have done my job."
