A Keatsian* Appreciation of Hillary Clinton's Week in Pictures

Having recently reconsidered my characterization of appreciating the Secretary of State's self-evident beauty and grace as Keatsian* rather than shallow, and because this is a slow Hillary Clinton news day, I thought I would post a collection of some of my favorite images from the past week that began with Haiti, took a turn through Ireland, and ended in Russia. I hope she is resting up today as she prepares for another busy week of speeches, conferences and travel (see here for some of the agenda for the week). Meanwhile, for those who require their Hillary-fix while this nasty debate and irresponsible name-calling continues on CSPAN and elsewhere, here are some pretty pictures from a whirlwind week.

*Keatsian:

The poetry of Keats was characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes which remain among the most popular poems in English literature. -Wikipedia, John Keats

From John Keats' epic poem, Endymion, 1818:

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

I also encourage you to visit Secretary Clinton blog where Stacy is making a Photo Bomb. You really cannot get enough of Hillary Clinton while all of this debating is going on. Looking at her will help keep your blood pressure in check. (Reminder: Democracy is a messy process. Note to Mr. Nunes of CA - if this were totalitarian, as you claim, we would not BE sitting through these debates! *sigh*)

Here's Hillary - in all her considerable glory! In a few of these, she appears with her much-appreciated "escort for life." ;)































This last - pointing at the glass ceiling. ;)
