Happy Thoughts Travel Fast (HTTF). Saturday, February 7, 2015. A Smile of More. The decorum of the fête galante. For the heart is a unity of the bourgeois (shining light), domestic (leisure), personal (arts), ostentatiously cultured (peignoirs and vases), and meditative qualities (dreamy cherubs) found in a range of expressions which shift our minds from gods to rulers to the glory of ecstasy materialized and reenacted for our indulgences, on one's china.
