I was already quite head over heels with MacLeod’s window display of green Penguin books (passed by a few days ago but without a camera), when I saw something that simply took my breath away! After I paid for a small Fra Angelico book with coloured plates, I saw boxfuls of green Penguins on my way out the door! Yes, this sort of thing is breathtaking to me :)

“Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others … But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together. I know that the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started. But with Catherine there was almost no difference in the night except that it was an even better time.”
— Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms
