Today's posts

 

The poem this week is ‘Ashes in the grate’.    

 

I am also posting another letter from my terrace in Palma. This week it is number 17, ‘Stet. Let it stand!’ 

 

Today we have part 8 of Johnson’s life, ‘Boswell makes his appearance’.   This is, I suppose, one of the most famous meetings in the world of English literature. What we would have lost if Boswell had never met Johnson!
