I love Gordon Parks. I once bought about a dozen copies of "A Star for Noon" and presented them to my closest friends.
"Now here in this place where spring has buried winter, the despair that threatened our Eden is a forgotten word. Having stolen Heaven from the Gods, I feel no guilt for it. If you would have a star for noon, it shall be yours."
