A cherub's face in white stone frowns from his
deteriorating shelf above a curious keyhole.  All is
warm, but in dry parchment color except for the
gloriously purple iris on a stem that stands growing
and independent.  The motto on the wall, the title,
meets the stem's shadow-a connection between the
fading background and the living flower.  Burlini's
familiar bouncing ball implies some motion, some
sound.  An armed angel, hardly present, seems a
forlorn and minor sentinel.
