It’s Walt Whitman’s birthday today!  What a way with words.  He had all the best lines in The Lord of the Rings movies.

Shiba Ryotaro Memorial Museum, Osaka, Japan. The Shiba Ryotaro Museum is the former house of the Japanese author Shiba Ryotaro. Inside, one sees the huge bookshelf which is 11 meters high with 20,000 books in it. With these books the author wrote about 500 historical novels, essays, critical essays and many other works. The museum was designed by Ando Tadao, a famous Japanese architect, to show the creative world of Shiba Ryotaro. (Photo by Alex Roman)

Grant Wood. The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, 1931.  The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
When I think of New England, I imagine stark church steeples, old Indian trails, headless horsemen, and this painting.  New England has a spooky feeling to it.  My West Coast friends say it’s because there are gravestones everywhere (which is true - if you ever drive down a highway or take a walk in the woods, you will almost certainly find a small old cemetery).
