A Winter's Tale - Mark Helprin


Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been,
Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene;
As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be,
So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.

A Soldier of the Great War - Mark Helprin.

I loved this book, and really liked Freddy and Frederika. Never read Winter's Tale. Would I like it?

My basic objection to religion is not that it isn't true; I like plenty of things that aren't true. It's that religion grants its adherents malign, intoxicating and morally corrosive sensations. -Philip Pullman

I believe so. It works on a number of levels, never pretentious though. heartwarming, lyrical, delightful. Smiler


Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been,

As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be,
So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.

(Time Out)....Boz??? Who/what the hell is Boz?? Confused


Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been,
Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene;
As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be,
So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.
