. . . but after reading your follow-up note, and going back and forth a few times, I think it initially went over my head. Where Dorian Gray’s ugly deeds were reflected in his portrait (thus allowing him to remain youthful and handsome), Theresa May’s vile (and ugly?) deeds reflect who she actually is in a mirror. Thus, she and her reflection were depicted with hideous features, yes?

Thanks for the follow-up, syringis, and thanks for not taking the flame-on route.

Sean
