Donna and I: The Boston Anthenaeum

I found the most beautiful statue of Elizabeth Barrett Browning at the Boston Anthenaeum.

Boston Anthenaeum

The current exhibition is of Chromolithographic advertisement and features chromolithographs made by Wislow Homer for Harper's Weekly. The is one nice Chromolithograph made from a Winslow Homer watercolor and a chromolithograph advertising The Boston Theatre.  I was in a room Longfellow studied in with sculptures of Washington owned by Jefferson. There is a Gilbert Stuart painting that was thought to be a copy painted by his nephew, now claimed to be the original.
     I would readily become a member of the library if I could get the subscription fee waived or subsidized- it would probably amount to the value of one course or 3 credits- I've overused my Dell Inspiron mini and the useage allowance is depleted, therefore I have to find available Wi-Fi; usually I donot and can type anytime, anywhere. (The visitors pass to the library gave us free access to the museum exhibits without use of the lending library)
     Remind me that Donna came up with the poem, "Angels climbing up a tree after eating ice cream."

The line of poetry I need to work on after my internet access frees up next week is

"Heaven is not only for the exonerated,
Tragic not this averted glance."

Little girl and the blond:Donna likes to play Sophia

We never thought that we would find this again, but ever since we've been writing a play based on it. Donna
likes to play the little girl. In real life her name is Sophia from New Zealand.

Donna and I: Two rabbits at the home of H. W. Longfellow

The home life of Henry W. Longfellow. Reminisce...

This photo I like: it is the frontpiece from the 1891 edition of the complete works of Longfellow published by Riverside Press and Houghton Mifflin and titled The Old Clock on the Stairs and lists it as a photogravure.

This afternoon Donna and I walked past the "museum" and I told her I was looking for the rabbit that we had seen the last time we were there. By the fence, one of the rabbits was feeding and came towards us, the other following behind from under the bushes a little later.
The architecture on Lowell Street in Cambridge is beautiful. While walking in Rockport, I had found a side street named Granite Street that eventually led to Front Beach, so this time, I turned down Lowell Street, thinking it would lead to Brattle Street, which it does in fact, luckily. She mentioned that I had intentionally gotten us lost in Rockport and I replied that I always get to where we are going. But she was very good about the actual detour and my asking if we could try what seemed to be a good way to go.

Our evening last night was very romantic so I have little time tonight to blog about our attending the Park Street Church last Sunday or our last week  haved stopped into Marsh Chapel to allow her to pray, during which I asked the organist what the piece of music had been while she had been sitting in the church alone, to which he replied, "Oh, I wrote that last night.".
Romantic in that our conversation was left off on the topic of her orgasming and I'm waiting to re-begin it.

Divinity: Mary Magdalene

Karen L. King | Harvard Divinity School

"Jesus said to them, my wife she will be able to be my disciple."

The Egyptian coptic continues, "I dwell with her."

Donna continued our conversation with, "I knew it." when I told her that not only was Jesus thought to be married, but that she had guessed correctly and that it was to Mary Magdalene.

Again, whenever we pass a church I check to see if it is open and if Donna can go in and quietly pray. Sometimes they are. It is whenever it would make her feel better to do so.

Please accept this link to the author that has discovered that Mary Magadalene may have been "The first woman apostle" of Christ.

Donna asked for a photo

   
After our having spent four days in Gloucester, on Atlantic Road overlooking Bass Rocks near Good Harbor Beach, and Rockport, our winding down Main Street, Railroad Ave, Granite Street and then down Beach Street untill finding the Front Street Beach, when we returned to Cambridge to begin the Autumn, while at lunch I won a raffle. Out of a number of baskets I picked one with an autumn theme, because it seemed feminine and it happened to include things for the kitchen: glasses, plates,bowls, napkins, towels.

When I gave it to Donna- actually we made love during the afternoon- she asked me to take a photo. The table cloth is brown and red with leaves and patterns of autumn.
