Flimsy Attire

"I crawled into the vegetable bin, settled on a giant onion and ate it, skin and all. It must have marked me for life for I have never ceased to love the hearty flavor of onions."

-James Beard

jendayee I really love these colors ! interesting subject ! and nice shots

photopoet The round spot is the label that is affixed to the outside of the onion. In this case it said: Organic.

Sevendipity "Life is like an onion: you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep”

Carl Sandburg (American Historian, Poet and Novelist, 1878-1967)

photopoet When you mentioned that Carl Sandburg quote it reminded me of a scene in Gunter Grass's novel, The Tin Drum. Grass creates a bar, the Onion Cellar...
"...it is not true that when the heart is full the eyes necessarily overflow, some people can never manage it, especially in our century, which in spite of all the suffering and sorrow will surely be known to posterity as the tearless century. It was this drought, this tearlessness that brought those who could afford it to Schmuh's Onion Cellar, where the host handed them a little cutting board - pig or fish - a pairing knife for eighty pfennigs, and for twelve marks an ordinary, field-, garden-, and kitchen-variety onion, and induced them to cut their onions smaller and smaller until the juice - what did the onion juice do? It did what the world and the sorrows of the world could not do: it brought forth a round, human tear.
It made them cry. At last they were able to cry again. To cry properly, without restraint, to cry like mad. The tears flowed and washed everything away. The rain came. ..." Chapter 42
