Maybe it's what Cornell Woolrich felt about that little hidden sailor suit. Don't let's be too quick to proclaim about where love can't be found. Is it absent, or are we just suffering from blinkered vision?

Remember, as Lena Horne phrased it in "The Ziegfield Follies,"

"Love can be a sweet endeavor,
"Or a dirty shame;
"Love is almost never, ever the same ..."
