Robert Rodan is doing a wonderful job with Adam. He looks just as silly as a boy experiencing his first crush ought to look.
Craig Slocum, on the other hand, is making the least of Harry Johnson's potential. Harry looked stone cold sober coming home from the Blue Whale, and he doesn't come across as a man who has done time in prison, and he doesn't appear to be as sneaky as he ought to be. He's an ex-con sniffing around wherever he can to find something that he can work to his advantage - but he looks like a clean-cut boy home from school.
We got a couple of close-ups of Mrs. Johnson's collar today, and I liked it. Nice color, nice material, nice shape. I like Peter Pan collars. I remember liking the caretaker's Peter Pan collar.
Since I had never read through Sonnets From the Portuguese before, it took me a little time to find that "widest land" quote, because it's the end of a poem, not the beginning. Here's the whole sonnet:
Go from me. Yet I feel that I shall stand
Henceforward in thy shadow. Nevermore
Alone upon the threshold of my door
Of individual life, I shall command
The uses of my soul, nor lift my hand
Serenely in the sunshine as before,
Without the sense of that which I fore-bore—
Thy touch upon the palm. The widest land
Doom takes to part us, leaves thy heart in mine
With pulses that beat double. What I do
And what I dream include thee, as the wine
Must taste of its own grapes. And when I sue
God for myself, He hears that name of thine
And sees within my eyes the tears of two.
