Chandelier from Mark Twain's home

 [Correction:  Walt Witman may have been a man of contradiction but the only contradiction here is our error in identifying the chandelier.  It belonged to Mark Twain, not Whitman.  Our thanks to Jeremy Henatyzen who made the correction.]

Mark Twain said, "Man is the Only Animal that Blushes.  Or needs to."


Mark Twain's chandelier hanging in The Powerhouse, Stoney Creek, Ontario, is one of many items collected by the restaurant's original owner.

"Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
~ Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892) American poet, 'Song of Myself' (written 1855) pt. 51.
