Talking with my hands


A close friend of mine has more than once told me off, for talking with my hands. No longer will I allow him to do so. Both Leonardo and El Greco, in their Supper depictions leave no doubt that talking with one’s hands, was definitely acceptable in the committed classes.

  1. I loved this! Especially the bit about talking with your hands...if an Italian was prohibited from doing this there would be total silence...
