We had a great discussion led by our Spanish scholar who gave us a lot of the local color of the places around Spain that were mentioned and insight into the significance of names. We ate Spanish dishes and some drank wine from the wineskin. The discussion got off track talking about our favorite parts so we did not get more philosophical before the time ran out. Next month-Man and Superman-GBS.
Jack, I got almost as excited as you with your slab when I got a full load of gravel.

ReplyDeleteBTW, I could write you prose poems about how much I love that translation of Don Quixote. S & I gave it to one of my cronie's kid for his Bar Mitzvah...
I may jump in a read it . i started t twice and do not remember why I gave it up... but it was not because it was not pleasurable. Maybe this summer.
ReplyDeleteI do remember Man and Superman but not well enough yet. Maybe that is next week.

We will wait for the prose poem somewhat patiently; beware, if you don't produce we will bounce you in the air on a blanket or some other appropriate punishment.
