Short and Tired

8 March 2011

There are times where I feel my ability to converse has suffered. I’m not sure why. It’s disheartening. I suppose I won’t bore you with that any longer. Let’s talk about something interesting.

The Haserot Angel

I was paroosing around Forgotten Ohio the other day and came across an intriguing gravestone that sits in nearby Lake View Cemetary. It’s called The Haserot Angel, presumably named after the man whose stone it sits on, Francis Haserot.

[2] Patination has obviously taken a toll on the fine bronze-work, giving the statue a melancholic—or sinister—look, if you will.
