A draft of Lord Byron's thank-you note (to "Dear P") was found in his apartment.
It says in part:
All of my life,
everyone has always said that I am a difficult person for whom to shop, and yet, you
managed to choose two absolutely perfect presents! A little phrase (with only eight
letters) like "thank you" simply cannot begin to express what I feel for what
you have given me. Art & poetry are gifts to my
soul! I just love the hat pin. It is vibrant, unique and a beautiful piece of art.
My only hope is that I have a hat fit to adorn it (ahhh, I see another excuse to go
shopping)! I know that I am bound to receive compliments on it.
I have only
read excerpts from "Leaves of Grass" before -- never in its entirety or in such
a beautifully bound edition. |
Like Shakespeare, Whitman's
writings are so timeless. I find solace in works from the past that remain profound and
somehow always poignant. Whitman is so rich that one must read him like one tastes a fine
wine or good cigar -- take it in, roll it in your mouth, and savor it!
I hope you know how very grateful I am for these gifts,
especially your gift of friendship. I will treasure them all . . . always. |
