Autumn pleasures

Ahem ...
The afternoon before, I'd done a good job of sweeping all the leaves.

Beers & Books (407) – Sylvia Plath: Love Poems

Love Poems

Sylvia Plath (27 October 1932 – 11 February 1963) 

On the Road

On the road ...

... a bit foggy this morning.

And half an hour later even more fascinating.

Beers & Books (406) – Stolen Years

Stolen Years

Paul Hill see The Guildford Four

Monochrome Monday

Oh god, there was the morning light
as Dafydd ap Gwilym would whisper. Perhaps. ;-)

Impressió, sol ixent

«Impressió, sol ixent»
(Claude Monet – 1872)

My impression at first glance: I would love to have this Monet hanging in my library.
My monetary condition doesn't allow for it, though.

Beers & Books (405) – Máirtín O'Cadhain: The Key

Why would people call this book kafkaesque?
It's an excellent Ó Cadhain.

Máirtín ò Cadhain (1906 – 18 October 1970)

Beers & Books (404) – Miller: Death of a Salesman

Death of a Salesman

Arthur Miller (17 October 1915 – 10 February 2005)

Farewell serenade

At 15°C and sunshine, at midday today
the first cranes circled over Seanhenge

on their way south and delighted me with their singing.

A wonderful concert.

Beers & Books (403) – Katherine Mansfield

The Collected Stories

Katherine Mansfield (14 October 1888 – 9 January 1923)

Beers & Books (402) – Three more books fitting the beer

So that I don't get bored, my library has been updated on the occasion of my attempt to orbit the sun one more time, starting today.  

Two novels
and
an anthology with 28 stories

And as an encore:
three books that I had only wished for Christmas ;-)

Today 532 years ago

  The American who was the first to discover Columbus made a nasty discovery.

Der Amerikaner, der den Kolumbus zuerst entdeckte,
machte eine böse Entdeckung. [G 183]

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742 - 1799)

Friday is Skyday
