The Drina Bridge

The Drina Bridge

My desk, like the Drina Bridge, is a conduit of human passage.

Today, Hosea, in the Liturgy

Vitis frondosa..

fructum producens sibi..

Osee 10,1

Henry de Motherlant

Of M Henry de Montherlant, Mr Peter Quennell

It is this gift of poetic assimilation, shown in the fusion of sensous and intellectual imagery, that gives the book [Le Songe - The Dream] its literary value.

Weiden and Nicolson 1962

Ivor Andrić

In his 1961 Nobel Prize Award response

Cogitavi dies antiquos et annos æternos in mente.

I recall the iconic pose of M Ivor Andrić before The Drina Bridge recorded in monochrome.

My desk: a conduit of human passage, like the august Drina Bridge.
