I'm happy this little volume came out this year. (Still working to find a publisher for all of _PhiloSophia_.) But I'm also glad I got to meet Sezgin Boynik in October, and I hope you'll consider purchasing any of the editions published by Rab-Rab Press.

Humping the shoulders at the same time contracts the chest, and causes the coat in front to crease, and these creases are apt to catch the butt of the gun as it comes to the shoulder and divert it from its proper place.

Her interlocutress could feel besides that she kept it up in perfect sincerity.

I had another dream set at an event like a gallery opening. No one I know from waking life was there, but I could recognize that everyone present was there twice, once as a 20-year-old and once as a 65-year-old. I could talk with both together or separately, and they could talk with one another.

I had a dream that someone was telling me about their dream.

The back must not stoop nor the shoulders be humped and set up till the collar of the coat was as high as the poll.

Milly hereupon replied appreciatively that such a description of herself made her feel as if pink paper were her dress and lavender its trimming; but Aunt Maud was not to be deterred by a weak joke from keeping it up.

That's why Susie has been kept for me, as you seem to keep people in your wonderful country, in lavender and pink paper—coming back at last as straight as out of a fairy-tale and with you as an attendant fairy."

As the best wine doth make the sharpest Viniger: so the deepest loue turneth to the deadliest hate.

His left foot was to be set a little in front of the other, and he was to turn very slightly aside, the left shoulder forwards.

God has been good to one—positively; for I couldn't, at my age, have made a new friend—undertaken, I mean, out of whole cloth, the real thing.

Bevis had to study his position at the moment when he stopped and lifted the gun.

The governor, however, desirous that they should excel, gave them a good drilling in this way.

What makes it perfect is that it should have come about through our dear delightful Susie, restored to me, after so many years, by such a miracle.

As the most constant patience (being too farre ptouoked) conuerteth into furie: so a wrathfull louer is more to be feared, than a sauage monster that hath no reason.

Bevis and Mark knew very well how to shoot, both from actual if occasional practice, and from watching those who did shoot.

I had another goal in mind, but found myself one day wandering around what I'm thinking of as PoMoParis. Here's Jardin Atlantique, above the Gare Montparnasse.
Looking at the frames on the backsides of silhouetted "rocks" or "cliffs" (?) in the Jardin Atlantique, set among walkways through varied vegetation. Here you can see a row of pines in the near distance, some different species of pine and spruce in the foreground and at the edges of the frame. Large modern steel and glass apartment buildings are visible at the borders of the garden.

With the breech-loader you can in a moment remove the very possibility of accident by pulling out the cartridges and putting them in your pocket.

Above all you must help me with Kate, and you must stay a little for her; nothing for a long time has happened to me so good as that you and she should have become friends.

There was hardly a part of the muzzle-loader which in some way or other did not now and then contribute to accidents.

You mustn't be under a mistake—under any of any sort; and you must let us all think for you a little, take care of you and watch over you.
