The Morning is Full

The morning is full of storm
in the heart of summer.

The clouds travel like white handkerchiefs of
goodbye,
the wind, travelling, waving them in its hands.

Pablo Neruda
Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair (translation by W.S. Merwin)

Happy birthday to Pablo Neruda from GG Central. Giulia seems to be feeling rather dramatic this morning. She's flung herself on the floor, sighing several times. We're pretty sure this has nothing to do with Pablo Neruda. Off to investigate.

Eye of the Needle

Have a good Monday. We'll be back to the usual haranguing soon. Meanwhile, enjoy the respite.;) Camels on parade. Here's the story (& eight additional photographs) about the Master of Miniatures, Nikolai Aldunin on My Modern Met.

GG Nests - Week's End

The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.-Zora Neale Hurston

As GG's editor tries to catch up, clean up, read, write, & rest, here are some pretty pictures of the future. It seems far away today. (Giulia, being a cat, remains unconcerned & asleep.)

Update: Posting will resume by March 1st. St. David's Day!

Happy Birthday to Oscar

Oscar Wilde was born this day in 1854 in Dublin. There are so many sites devoted to him but here are some good links. GG's editor has used an Oscar quote for her main email address for years. Everyone comments on it the first time they receive an email. It's quite clearly attributed to O.W. so we suppose the compliments concern our good taste & sense of humor. We accept the compliments but, really, how difficult is it to find a great Oscar quote? Have a great evening.
