You know something? I think it's lovely. I think you have the classic, angelic features of a highly passionate yet tightly contained woman from a D.H. Lawrence novel. You look like storms are stirring behind those clear, direct eyes. Your cheeks have the ruddy tinge of a long walk down a muddy British lane in the middle of November. Stiff breezes have been plucking at your hair, but you will not come undone. You are one of the most beautiful women I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

I could just kiss you, sweet mermaid, for making my day!!! You are wonderful! : )

You've got it, there is something Lawrentian about that pic. Somehow I don't think the real Catelin is all that troubled though.She's a lady in control of her own destiny!

That's odd - I thought the Lawrentian women were widely in charge of their destinies, as well...

I really didn't think of them as troubled.

I haven't read Lawrence since college, so I'm far from an authority. I'm thinking mostly of Sons and Lovers. It seems to me that those women made choices, but were also somehow in the throws of destiny? Your description of Catelin's pic made me think of one of the side characters in Sons and Lovers. Isn't there an unhappy wife/mother in that story who was impassioned and a bit imprisoned by her unhappy passions?
