I am thinking on that one today. Promise me to stay tickled, roof-wise (and maybe cellar-wise) at least until 2012. Will I see you in Montpelier?

Since, I've found that I can't read her poetry without the layer of melancholy I found there. That woman had a complicated life. And in response? She wrote poems so spare and beautiful. <br /><br />(And you ref Calvino and Leopardi--and Wallace Stevens. Seriously, that will keep me distracted for a day and half.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147284664183496856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552083088916942937.post-21204632767213049342010-12-31T08:10:57.777-08:002010-12-31T08:10:57.777-08:00Happy 2011, Julie.
