An Aspect of Love

The Sanders Portrait

"I'll have my questions ready, and rather than gushing I would show a knowing curiosity and even rib him a little about some imperfections, since after all that is an aspect of love." -  Michael Pennington, In Pursuit of Shakespeare
A true and intimate aspect of love that is best exercised when something is pretty close to one's heart.
And I've got the feeling that Michael somehow has the Sanders Portrait in mind when describing his view of Shakespeare. It's got that smile, if he would burst out I wouldn't know though.
