My reading has led to more pithy sayings, wouldn't you know, and people quoting other people, so now we're all like nested Russian dolls. In this fabulous
interview in
The Sun, David Mason quotes Ernest Hemingway saying, "Remember to get the weather in your damn book." It might not appear in the online snippet I've linked
here--I've got the print version--but you will find Mason quoting Robinson Jeffers on finding "the honey of peace in old poems." I like that.
Speaking of snippets, my poem-a-day prompt for today is "a snippet of overheard talk," which may get me in trouble with 1) the devil 2)
CollageMama, as you can read in her blog entry,
"Prohibition against eavesdropping." This is a poem I have yet to write, but I have overheard the conversation.
Lately, the Russians have been reading my blog, and I don't know why. So today I've invented a reason. Lastly, thanks to Wikipedia for the
Matryoshka dolls.

For a long time someone in Split, Croatia read my old blog religiously. My tracking stats aren't that specific now.
Well, that's very sweet.
