Sept 16, 1909

Have just been wondering if you'd answer my card if I sent you one. Am sorry our parting wasn't as pleasant as it might have been, but I felt a little hurt at you. Would be pleased to hear a word from you if you feel so inclined.

Edna Anderson

A rocky 1909 relationship with one side holding out a hand. Did H.R. respond?

I don't know if you are allowed to climb the spire anymore.

Of the Duomo, which began construction in 1386, Mark Twain, in his novel Innocents Abroad, wrote:

What a wonder it is! So grand, so solemn, so vast! And yet so delicate , so airy, so graceful! A very world of solid weight, and yet it seems ...a delusion of frostwork that might vanish with a breath!...

Me And The Devil Blues - Robert Johnson

Early this mornin', when you knocked upon my door
Early this mornin', ooh, when you knocked upon my door
And I said, "Hello, Satan, I believe it's time to go"

Me and the devil, was walkin' side by side
Me and the devil, ooh, was walkin' side by side
And I'm goin' to beat my woman, until I get satisfied

She say you don't see why, that you will dog me 'round
(spoken: Now, babe, you know you ain't doin' me right, don'cha)
She say you don't see why, ooh, that you will dog me 'round
It must-a be that old evil spirit, so deep down in the ground

You may bury my body, down by the highway side
(spoken: Baby, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone)
You may bury my body, ooh, down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit, can catch a Greyhound bus and ride
