I found the tiles in my archive. And then wanted to check if the French saying about an albatross around one’s neck is similar or what saying they have. And from there…
Charles Baudelaire wrote “Les fleurs du mal”, a collection of poems. One of the more famous poems is called “L’albatros” where he describes the grace and beauty and strenght of this bird in the air and his clumsiness and “not belonging” on a boat. This is widely considered to be a metaphore for himself or artists in general, their feeling of not belonging in society. Quite convoluted, yes, I know.

I guess I’m not intellectual, as I had no idea what your intriguing title meant. But I love the tiles.
