"I Felt The Need To Write In My Fingertips..."
“I sat in the Deux-Magots and gazed at the blank sheet of paper in front of me. I felt the need to write in my fingertips, and the taste of the words in my throat...” ~Simone de Beauvoir
The deux magots of Les Deux Magots. Apparently, they are décor leftover from before the place was a restaurant, back when it housed a shop that sold silk stockings.
Journaling over Coffee at The Musée D’Orsay
Absorbing art, quaffing coffee, writing, absorbing more art. A fine start to a day.
