Thursday, February 2, 1:30 p.m. Karen Richardson, Curator of the Haldimand County Museum, will be our guest at the Round Table.
Thursday afternoons ~ 1st & 3rd ~ are informal readings/discussions on topics that always entertain and hopefully inform. Being February, we think that romance is a welcome subject. Dylan Thomas, Welsh poet and writer, apparently found the winter months long. While on a lecture tour in the United States, he wrote to his wife on March 16, 1950,
"My love, Oh, cat. . .Have you forgotten me? I am the man you used to say you loved. I used to sleep in your arms ~ do you remember? But you never write. You are perhaps mindless of me. I am not of you. I love you. There isn't a moment of any hideous day when I do not say to myself, 'It will be alright. I shall go home. Caitlin loves me. I love Caitlin.'
But perhaps you have forgotten. If you have forgotten, or lost your affection for me, please, my Cat, let me know. I love you."
Please join us. Coffee pot's Always On. . . Thursday, February 2, 1:30 p.m.*From The 50 Greatest Love Letters of All Time, Edited by David H. Lowenherz, Crown Publishers, New York, 2002
