Happy Birthday, o gorgeously bookish one!
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

Happy Birthday, stlukesguild!
Optima dies ... prima fugit
At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.
To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

Oh, sorry I'm late St Lukes. Happy Birthday.

Thanks all!Don't worry about being late, Virgil... I just came across this post myself today (Monday the 5th!) I did have a fairly good birthday... I took the day off work and slept in 'til about noon and then went out and bought a few books and some music. I got a marvelous book on Degas' pastels... I had almost forgot how much I loved his work and used to love the medium of pastel myself). I also got a marvelous little book... and essay by the great art writer/historian John Pope-Hennessy on the Italian Renaissance painter, Piero Della Francesca entitled The Piero Della Francesca Trail. I couldn't resist after reading only the opening sentence: "There comes a point in life when the artists one has known cease to be objects of research and become friends." I also got a lovely collection of the poems of Richard Wilbur and a true bibliophile's book, A Splendor of Letters, written by that author who has turned his own bibliophilia/bibliomania into a career, Nicholas A. Basbanes. he is perhaps best known for an earlier volume entitled, A Gentle Madness. The chapter entitled From the Ashes which explores the intentional destruction of the great library in Sarajevo by the Serbs, the systematic destruction of almost all written books by the Khmer Rouge, and other similar literary losses is truly heartbreaking for any bibliophile.
Petrarch's Love... love the collage! "Literature for the elite and the enlightened, eh?"

Happy Belated Birthday, stlukesguild!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Happy Belated!
Hope you got plenty of lovely literature!
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

Happy Birthday!
