I don't know about the bump on the head as it seems as though Tolstoi is inside the stone trying to come out!<BR/><BR/>I love the way you talk about the inverted crown of the long hair and the hairless crown.

Well, he was Russian right. Full of drama and angst and joy. I brought back my 1920 something Baedecker of Paris which is falling apart. I bought it used so I could follow Alberta's walks through Paris (and also Paula M-Becker's, and Gwen John's etc). Have to look up Tolstoi's square though it may have been called something else back then. Are there still "fortifications" in Paris. Alberta was always going out to the fortifications to sit. I think most of that area is now highway.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.com
