23 November 1998 - Very Big Library

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

I wish I had that prismatic French imagination. The very names of their great public works are tinctured with invention. I stand awe-struck at the Train à Grande Vitesse, or “High-Speed Train”, and I’m speechless before the literate genius of the Très Grande Bibliothèque, or “Very Big Library”.
