I am away with the Quakers. Meanwhile, here is some Artemisia Gentileschi: Judith and Holofernes. She likes men losing: she also painted Jael and Sisera. The story of Lot’s daughters being unmarried, thinking they would have no children, so getting their father drunk to have sex with him repels me: Gentileschi gives them dignity.

I had not noticed her. She could be a pillar of salt.

She invited him into her tent. Well, what was he expecting?
