Once the admirer is gone, who is going to do that? Maybe we should start a foundation called 'Cognac and roses'
apparently the task has already passed to the sons of the man who started doing this, according to the article
but maybe we should go and put cognac and roses on the graves of other great dead writers. who would you choose anna?
OK, OK, i admit, it was me.
sheesh, cant the world just leave a Poe fanatic like me alone to pay my respects???
Marguerite Duras (bluntly honest). Maybe Colette (snob at time). Certainly not Yourcenar (a wonderful writing machine). She was a man disguised as a woman. That is why she was the first woman to be admitted among the bastion of the Academie francaise...
Nice idea Sharon. I think we should tailor the gesture though. How about a calling card and a shot of absinthe left at the grave of Oscar Wilde? ;)
nice idea walker
i'd leave flowers on george borrow's grave. dunno why - he feels like a mate of mine.
