Thanks all!:blush: 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?":lol:
