'O may I join the choir invisible/Of those immortal dead who live again/In minds made better by their presence' 'If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack; a glance from your eyes and my life will be yours.'
 My favorite diaries: |
| astuzia profile - diary |
| comments: Saving grace and consolation. Makes the unpalatable not. |
| clcassius profile - diary |
| comments: Because I once believed that my middle name was Hannibal. It's a comfort to remember that I'm not the only Roman outcast. And a consolation to know that in fact I'm not really a cause celebre. |
| cream profile - diary |
| comments: What can I say? The ability to improvise, appreciate, a randomness that is not affected and more charming for that. She doesn't write in straight lines and changes colors so often that my eyes hardly have enough time to adjust |
| mechaieh profile - diary |
| comments: I am often in a parlous state, and, willy-nilly, her words pull me along |
| minderella profile - diary |
| comments: Because I live on the Isle of Blight (not a misnomer) and she is a reminder of the path that I won't take. |
| reldragon profile - diary |
| comments: If asked why I read this one hundred times - once a day for one hudred days - I hope that i would never give the same answer twice. A joy. |
| riatsala profile - diary |
| comments: I don't have to harangue myself for reading Laurence Sterne anymore. I can admit that someone else is learned with a straight face. Tristam Shandy, indeed. |
| throcky profile - diary |
| comments: Because she is an antidote to Hardy. A garrulous Lady Astor? Unlikely. She is a Charlotte. Elective Affinities. Young Werther. Why have I not the words for a paean to her wisdom? |
| una-sorella profile - diary |
| comments: Se non ci fosse lei nel nostro mondo, avrei voluto inventarla |

| argyle-socks profile - diary |
| comments: Montreal - Home to les Canadiens, Poutine, Laval, Charest and this diarist who I cannot help but envy. Color me green |
