Unfortunately it is one of those books too tall to go on a normal bookshelf. A clear case of more is less. Writers, especially poets (if they want to be read) should never agree to tall books!<br />Last night I went to a lecture about a certain Dr. Hyrtl who once performed an autopsy on an elephant's head. Hyrtl has the disinction of being the last known person to hold the skull of Mozart in his hand. Unfortunately the good doctor is long since dead so we can't ask him what he did with it.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-82105829850677414812010-10-06T01:19:46.605+01:002010-10-06T01:19:46.605+01:00Ooh, just looked at your website.
