Subject: the kind of window here depicted...
Dear Don,
I donīt know how this kind of window is named
elsewhere, but in Brazil it is a "guilhotina".
In TT the
reference to the French Revolution in "lunette" is quite clear, but I think
that it is worth checking if VN could not have been linking the guillotine
and this kind of corporeal punishment as shown in the
cartoon
--------------------------------------------
Jansy, Dunno, but, as I recall. VN's reference is
to the absence of spanking in his family home. You may be over-extending,
no?
