The poem featured in this post, Autumn Leaves, is found in Mary A. Maitland's book by the same title, published in 1907. Amidst the autumn gloom and the sad sight of fallen and crushed leaves, the poet is reminded that seasons will change again, ending the sense of grief and pain.
Iโm happy to present the eighth title in the Grammaticus Free Library series: โAn Alpine Divorceโ, an exciting crime story written by the Scottish-Canadian writer Robert Barr (1849โ1912). Itโs about a husband and wife who grew to hate each other with passion. While on holidays in the Swiss Alps, their marriage comes to its tragic and final end.
The Vulgate is the Latin language translation of the Bible going back to St Jerome (c. 342-420). A work of exquisite importance for the history of Christianity and the dissemination of the Bible, it still remains in official use. The version reviewed in this post is a wonderful facsimile of the so-called Sixto-Clementine Vulgate, originally published in Belgium in 1901.
