Ten owls could scarcely catch a mouse.

GENERATION

Violaine Boutet de Monvel, 1985/2002/2009

Somehow, as a toddler, I could not understand the concept of generation, as in recording and restitution, and this would get to me. Somehow, as an adult, this question has become less technical and more human, and this still gets to me.
