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.

Death of a Salesman

Arthur Miller (17 October 1915 – 10 February 2005)

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 (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

machte eine böse Entdeckung. [G 183]
