Cohen's Penguin Book of Spanish Verse, but forgot. I should also have posted the Spanish, but ran out of time to do all those accents. It is August; I am getting really lazy. yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: Thought for the Day (August 3) From: Roger the zimmer Date: 03 Aug 99 - 09:56 AM as always, Pete, I can't compete for profundity but you always spark off a thought. In this case I asked Greek friends if there was a Greek equivalent for manana. "Nothing that conveys the same sense of urgency" I was told. I'm all for the siesta catching on outside S. Europe! |
