Friday is Skyday

Cuando sale la luna
se pierden las campanas
y aparecen las sendas
impenetrables.*
From Federico García Lorca's Canciones de luna

Through the Window*

Seventeen Essays about Literature
and one short story
* Always interesting to see how titles vary from country to country. Reading the German "Am Fenster" one could think the book's English title were "At the Window".
Which lets me come to think of John McGahern's "Pornographer" of which the first German edition was "Der Pornograph", but got changed in the second into "Der Liebhaber" (The Lover).
Why? The first edition did not sell. ...

Cui bono?
Who does profit?

Anyway, those who have hoarded enough toilet paper are on the safe side.
