God's freckled face
From the New York Times on Friday, September 23rd, an article about a musician who has stayed on in New Orleans:
I never heard that expression before--God's freckled face--and it seemed, well, comforting. We don't get to see many stars here in New York either.
"My experience with the hurricane, and I am ashamed to say it, has been beautiful," Mr. Melancon (pronounced may-LAWN-son) said. "There is no rumble of trucks on Magazine, I have seen stars above New Orleans for the first time in a while - God's freckled face, and everyone who is still here is wonderful. I'm very comfortable." The way he said comfortable - COME-te-bul - made his isolation seem a blessing, but the circumstances would be frightful to most.

My Irish mother always says, "A face without freckles is like a sky without stars."

Pied Beauty
GLORY be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
