Cleopatra “How good it feels to stroke the finest linen and to know that yarn spun from the drop spindle came by planters, harvesters, and so many others, and is dyed thread woven on the loom into fabric and then sewn into garments for me to wear.” And I saw that the artist’s finest paint was to take the brush and stroke the depth of a goddess to whom the people of Egypt immortalize as the ‘Queen of the Nile,’ and wasn’t that what Cleopatra was all about?
