I didn’t remember that Charles V was the author of this phrase …..
Lovely photo and interpretation of the theme!

I don’t know if it’s absolutely certain. But certainly widely attributed to him.

Now, I need to ask: was it you who put the glove on the iron? 😀 This is terrifyingly imaginative. I wish I was this way. I am more of an iron on the outside and velvety on the inside 😀

So am I! This just happened to be there as I took a walk in Edinburgh. X

It could be that someone lost a glove and then some other person picked it up and placed on the fence for a seeker to find it? So, it was altogether a chance photography. Don’t you love when that happens? You know how to look around you, Debbie 🙂
