Zero Notebook 10: Helen
.
Our revels now are ended. These our images, as I foretold you, were all spirits and are melted into air, into thin air...
But before we go, one more page, the back inside cover to be specific. It contains two more images of Helen. One is a publicity shot from a period she was going to leave out of the autobiography she never wrote, when she made a brief, ill-fated stab at acting. The other is from a dark period in her middle age.
She was far better-looking than she'd ever admit to being.
And what, you ask, does it mean . . . ?
To find that out, you're just going to have to read The Iron Dragon's Mother, now aren't you?
Above: Tenth image. Tout finis!
