This is a hankie that I embroidered about (if one can really embroider about something) my Professor Robert Hullot Kentor. He is a fascinating specimen of a man, and he inspires me, so I thought a hankie homage was due, for what better way so say "I care" than embroider? That's what I always say. 

The quotes around his head are things that he has said. He is riding a tortoise because he once used riding a tortoise to illustrate a point in class, explaining the objective of our final essay in that we are all riding our respective tortoises and the essay was him asking us to turn around and pause and acknowledge what we have learned throughout the year, and then continue on our way. 

The man in the heart is Kentor's beloved Adorno, author of Minima Moralia and other such philosophical writings concerning largely music and art.
