Ends of discoloured blinds and curtains flapped drearily against the half-opened upper windows.
In one of these rooms, was a window looking into the street, where the child sat, many and many a long evening, and often far into the night, alone and thoughtful.
The day being very warm and the street a quiet one, the windows were wide open; and it was easy to hear through the Venetian blinds all that passed inside.
Windows are very useful things.
You can catch sight of something or someone through a window. From outside in. And from inside out.
You can open a window to let the smell of perfume or gunpowder escape.
It is even possible to dispose of a dead body out a window.
Or you can hide behind the drapes when someone comes home unexpectedly and you've been searching the place.
Oh, yes. Windows are very useful.
Vocabulary lesson for today:
the act of throwing someone or something out of a window is called »defenestration.« Famous defenestrations include one in some political-type building in Prague some years ago. I don't know how many. This is a vocabulary lesson, not a bloody history lesson! You want to know? Go ask Frank, the fish.
Cheap, ugly, and new energy efficient windows are a sin if they're replacing beautiful, old, drafty ones. Improving energy efficiency doesn't have to kill a house's soul.
When poverty comes in at the door, love flies out the window.
On the internethotline:
Advisor: Please close your windows.
Customer: Why should I close my windows, outside its not that loud and today is such nice weather.
No matter what side of the window you are on, there is something new to see.
