Tony Lane Date: 9/28/2011 6:49:00 AM Now we share two hobbies. I just bought a 200-year-old book that the author sought to preserve 100 year old plays. So for $5 I now own a book of 300-year-old plays that I have not been able to find any reference to. Tony
Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/27/2011 11:34:00 PM oh, my gosh, Vienna. I know the perfect contest for this wonderful memory you have penned. Put it in Carol's "no theme contest" She is asking just for poems we write that are not for contests!! I loved the line you wrote: I smelled AFrica in those yellow aging pages of holiness."
