Re: Coro

Contrary to popular belief it is not compulsory to read this thread. Many are irritated, nay feel demeaned by those bien pensants who use unnecessary foreign words, déjà vu, or, inter alia, latin phrases “carpe diem’, or obscure stanzas of poetry “come friendly bombs”, or prose “all the world is a s...

Re: Coro

There has been a short pause in this thread as things were getting a tad manic. But as they say of Russian history "And then things got worse!” Mark what happened here in1265 anno domini “The streets became eerily quiet; grass grew where there had been heavy traffic; overseas trade took a hamme...

Lewis can paint his car black, but mine is staying pretty red. Sumerian cuneiform, Egyptian cartouches, symbols, inscriptions representing words, figures, people, activities recorded not for the ear but for the eye.

Betjeman wrote “the most momentous tale of all, seen in a stained glass window’s hue, and is it true, for if it is…. “ but then he was a rank sentimentalist.
