Tom Chaney: Beware of Falling Angels

Of writers and their books: Review, John Berendt's The City of Falling Angels
"BEWARE OF FALLING ANGELS" - Sign in Venice outside Santa Maria della Salute Church before restoration of its marble ornaments
By Tom Chaney

John Berendt opens his book about Venice with an account of a conversation with Count Girolamo Marcello as they stroll from the deep shade of Calle della Mandola into the open sunlight of Campo Manin.

Marcello observes, "Sunlight on a canal is reflected up through a window onto the ceiling, then from the ceiling onto a vase, and from the vase onto a glass, or a silver bowl. Which is the real sunlight? Which is the real reflection? ... Venetians never tell the truth. We mean precisely the opposite of what we say."

Remembering, honoring, Sylvia Wilson

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

So sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Sylvia Wilson. I remember when I was a teenager going to Circle R Resturant to eat she was always so kind and sweet. She always had her beautiful corsage on. She was a beautiful lady. When my father was in the hospital there in Columbia and very ill, we went there very often to eat.She always took the time to ask about him. This meant a lot to me. My sympathy goes out to her family, whom I didn't know. God bless you all. My prayers are with all of you. Thank you.s/Alice Smith Robinson
