My grandmother at the end of her life said to me. “I cannot believe that it ended up that I am closer to you then anyone else” she meant this as a compliment
Why was this? Because as a young child I had said to her “is your necklace real?” And she answered with true disgust “ EVERYTHING I WEAR IS REAL”
Gold, I had challenged her authenticity and now I was the only person she could speak to with no need for adornment just an old person closer to dying than she was to living. As she said “ I have no energy for ( to tell) stories any more..” No more gold just her authentic self sitting with me her authentic connection to life. And soon after when she died she was gone and nothing remained Puff! And I am imagining that it was like that for King Solomon-PUFF he was gone! But did he share his authentic self with anyone? Can we read it in these words?
Yes, the description of all that excess can make one feel, uhm, gleamed back into bourgeois mediocrity. Of course in our day, it also calls to mind another politician for whom, aesthetically and in any other way, more is more. Can't wait to see where we go next with this text!
