Thought for the day ...

For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.
- Amy Lowell, born on this date in 1874

  1. I'm writing a biography of Amy Lowell, so it's nice to hear her quoted. I'm interested in hearing from her readers. I'm writing a biography of her funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. In the meantime, I've published a collection of essays, "Amy Lowell Among Her Contemporaries," available from amazon.com, bn.com, and iUniverse.com
