A fantastic post. May I just add:
Here’s to –
Nora the barnacle goose –
Skin-the-Goat –
the giggle fit of bronze by gold –
the blind stripling piano tuner tap tap tapping along –
socks with skyblue clocks, jaunty –
Plumtree’s Potted Meat, which can make of each home an abode of bliss –
Rose of Castille and rows of cast steel –
met him pike hoses –
Come forth, Lazarus! And he came fifth and lost the job –
On his wise shoulders through the checkerwork of leaves the sun flung spangles, dancing coins –
Private Carr and his escalating oath –
lame Gerty limping, a dreamer –
those lovely seaside girls –
the heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit –
yes
:)
Dearest: a great selection for today. I’m familiar with some, but not that many that I didn’t take quite some time to get through. The Chinese translator was of particular interest for some reason. enjoy the remainder of the day. slainte. love dad
Dad – I thought you’d like that one!!
