There is a line in Verlaine I shall not recall again,
There is a street close by forbidden to my feet,
There's a mirror that's seen me for the very last time,
There is a door that I have locked till the end of the world.
Among the books in my library (I have them before me)
There are some that I shall never open now.
This summer I complete my fiftieth year;
Death is gnawing at me ceaselessly.
saresmoore Welp, I‘m not looking forward to turning 50! 😳 6y
Bookwomble @saresmoore Been there, done that! 😂 I first read this a few years before I turned the half-century, which actually came and went without much fuss 😊 6y
saresmoore As it should! Unless the fuss is people scrambling to gift you with books. 😉 6y

Bookwomble @saresmoore I will have definitely got books, of only because I will have bought some for myself. You have to plan these things you avoid disappointment 😁 6y
Bookwomble Good grief, my grammar is terrible in that comment! 6y
saresmoore It‘s true. My preferred birthday celebration is always a nice, quiet lunch and several hours alone in a musty, old bookstore. My family have stopped trying to throw me surprise parties. 6y
Bookwomble @saresmoore A surprise party would not be high on my list of enjoyable things. 6y
