"That truth should be silent I had almost forgot"--Enobarbus in ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, back in Rome after having been too long in Egypt.--------- Melville's PIERRE, Book 4, chapter 5: "Something ever comes of all persistent inquiry; we are not so continually curious for nothing."

Testing iPhone and now deleting after every day's pictures--ORNERY PEOPLE books
The outsized ones are elsewhere, and some more regular sized books. They grow. Oddly, my books on biography (practice of, theory of) grew more slowly when I was doing MELVILLE BIOGRAPHY: AN INSIDE NARRATIVE.
How I wish Fletcher Hill's newspaper series on his escape from the Danville VA prison was available, even in a mouse-gnawed pamphlet dug out of the wall of an Ohio tavern. At least I have cousin Tom Bell's captivity narrative, his story of the Mier disaster. Will Bagley, look at the picture.
