| Une belle figure porte avec soi sa recommandation // A beautiful figure brings its recommendation with it |
Today’s prompt is “recommendation”, recommandation.
The quote above belongs to Publilius Syrus and demonstrates that the halo effect was known for more or less always.
As far as I can see the closest English translation is “A fair exterior is a silent recommendation” although I can’t tell you where the “silent” bit came from. Or where it went in the French variant.
The cat, as cats in general, knows of the importance of fair exterior. Look at him there. Admire his toga. Wearing a toga is tricky when you have no shoulders, but he managed it with his usual grace.
In other news, nothing changes, still sitting there, watching the spring run by.
