I'll have to order that over to my kindle and re-read it, Sandy. Some of his phrases are so evocative. I had forgotten A Moveable Feast.
The descriptors such as:
"All of the sadness of the city came suddenly with the first cold rains of winter, and there were no more tops to the high white houses as you walked but only the wet blackness of the street and the closed doors of the small shops, the herb sellers, the stationery and the newspaper shops, the midwife - second class - and the hotel where Verlaine and died where I had a room on the top floor where I worked."
or "On a cold windswept street, this was a warm, cheerful place with a big stove in winter, tables and shelves of books, new books in the window, and photographs on the wall of famous writers both dead and living. The photographs all looked like snapshots and even the dead writers looked as though they had really been alive."
Wonderful.....

The dtcrosswordfan just kept on eating and munching on his hay
He didn’t seem to grasp or know it was a Delphianl Day.
And still he kept on chomping when later came to view
Two ABers complete with wings to beat
The Christians were dumbstruck too.
And then while they were feeding Three Aetheists came by with gifts
With words of reality they spoke, then said goodbye and left.
And yet the dtcrosswordfan kept munching and packing it away
The Aethesist truisms kept wafting as they watched o’er where he lay.
But Lo! He stopped his chewing, his mandibles hanging slack,
The Realist woke up and gazed at him- and he is gazing back.
So when dtcrosswordfanis eating and he stops and stares unfazed…..
