Streets of your town...

So this is where I live - you are welcome to move the camera around and look at the people as I sometimes do - I even recognise a few from time to time...
Today is a sunny day and the first day of the rest of my life. a little humid but not as bad as Warsaw or Katowice!
Today I may read a little of the Bhagavad Gita or maybe some Byron or Shelly...
I do have some Keats and DH Lawrence, I must admit I am partial to poetry... don't tell anyone I told you that!
It is amazing the number of books I have inherited from other teachers and English native speakers...
People Hide Their Love
By Wu-Ti, Emperor Of The Liang Dynasty (A.D. 464-549)
Who Says That It's By My Desire,This Seperation, This Living So Far From You?
My Dress Still Smells Of The Perfume You Wore;
My Hand Still Holds The Letter That You Sent. Round My Waist I Wear A Double Sash;
I Dream That It Binds Us Both With The Same-Heart Knot.
Did You Know That People Hide Their Love,
Like A Flower That Seems Too Precious To Be Picked?
One of my favs I think...
Obi got his specs on and ready for tea scones and a nice day of reading...
Does anyone know of the book of letters Jean-Paul Satre wrote to Simone de Beauvoir?? It is out of print but I would love to source a copy, supposed to be the most romantic book in the world...

Hey there, that camera is pretty cool. Is that from your apartment? Neat to see someone else's point of reference. Talk to you soon.
