Books Mentioned: The Inferno by Dante Alighieri As You Like it by William Shakespeare
// A Tree at My Window by Robert Frost: Tree at my window, window tree, My sash is lowered when night comes on; But let there never be curtain drawn Between you and me.
Vague dream head lifted out of the ground, And thing next most diffuse to cloud, Not all your light tongues talking aloud Could be profound.
But tree, I have seen you taken and tossed, And if you have seen me when I slept, You have seen me when I was taken and swept And all but lost.
That day she put our heads together, Fate had her imagination about her, Your head so much concerned with outer, Mine with inner, weather. \\

By the inexplicable workings of a divine law, we look for you in vain; More remote, even, than the Ganges or the setting sun, yours is the solitude, yours the secret. Your haunch allows the lingering caress of my hand. You have accepted, since that long forgotten past, the love of the distrustful hand. You belong to another time. You are lord of a place bounded like a dr ------------------------- Social Network: Email: lastdayofsummer@gmail.com Twitter: twitter.com/MementoMoriAdam Instagram: instagram.com/alifelessboring Goodreads: goodreads.com/adamfrappBouquet Books and the Modern Decline of Book Designmementomori2018-08-11 | Read the Vanity Fair Article Here: vanityfair.com/style/2018/08/flower-print-bouquet-books-publishing-rodrigo-corral-raf-simons
