Hanging out with Tom R. for awhile is always an education -- his eye, and the things he catches with his camera, are like the things he registers in his poems . . .Joe Safdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146108321237585329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-81980449160917936002010-03-04T01:41:17.637-08:002010-03-04T01:41:17.637-08:00BTW Joe, re.

Then again that's one saving grace of anciency, misremembering one's age is just as easy as misremembering everything else.<br /><br />However I should hope Marvell and Donne will ne'er be forgotten. Not of course that they need readers of this millennium to make them great. But without exposure to their wit and passion, readers of this millennium will be that much the more impoverished.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-23033954099557310362010-03-03T22:12:53.079-08:002010-03-03T22:12:53.079-08:00A belated happy birthday, old pal.
