“Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.” - Heinrich Heine 1797-1856
(I had meant to do a photo of burning books to end "Banned Books Week"... but I couldn't bring myself to actually set a book on fire. I suppose that goes to show what side of this argument I am on, eh? So, a photo of my over-stacked shelves will have to do.)

I had already decided to name this shot "eyes" (not a very original idea, I know), when I noticed the geisha with one eye peeking out over on the left side. A little coincidence.

Lahore The City Within by Samina Quraeshi with an essay by Annemarie
Schimmel, published 1988 by Concept Media.
~ Yay! I finally tracked down this lovely book, and received it yesterday!
It is acknowledged to be one of the best books written on the ancient fabled
city that I love. I'm going to read it very, very slowly. And there are lots of beautiful,
colourful pictures too.

I used to own this book. It is one of the first books I ever bought by myself as a child, and I just found it again! I'm so happy to have it again. Oh boy, dinosaurs! Meat eating T-Rexes! Something's a little different about this cover, though. It's missing a volcano and a darkening sky that made the dinosaurs look like they lived in Mordor, and the T-Rex isn't eating another dinosaur. This mus be the censored version!
In Spain
Emily LAWLESS (Ireland)
(1845 –1913)
Your sky is a hard and a dazzling blue,
Your earth and sands are a dazzling gold,
And gold or blue is the proper hue,
You say for a swordsman bold.
In the land I have left the skies are cold,
The earth is green, the rocks are bare,
yet the devil may hold all your blue and your gold
Were I only once back there!

Emily LAWLESS
(1845 –1913)
Cerul vostru de fier e-un albastru de-azur,
Iar pământul de aur sclipind,
Amintind de strămoşii, din vremi de demult,
Dârji in luptă, cu pieptul flămând.
Dar in ţara bătrânilor mei, ceru-i aspru,
Munţii sterpi, iar moşia uitată...
Şi la naiba cu galbenii voştri şi cerul albastru:
Doar la vatra din sat să ne-ntoarcem odată.

Short BIO (from Poem Hunter):
Emily Lawless was an Irish writer.
She was born at Lyons House below Lyons Hill, Ardclough, County Kildare. Her grandfather was a member of the United Irishmen Valentine Lawless and son of a convert from Catholicism to the Church of Ireland. In contrast her brother Edward Lawless was a landowner with strong Unionist opinions, a policy of not employing Roman Catholics in any position in his household, and chairman of the Property Defence Association set up in 1880 to oppose the Land League and "uphold the rights of property against organised combination to defraud". Horace Plunkett was a cousin.
Emily wrote 19 books of fiction, biography, history, nature studies and poetry, many of which were widely read at the time. She is most famous nowadays for her Wild Geese poems.
It is widely believed that she was a lesbian and that Lady Sarah Spencer, dedicatee of A GARDEN DIARY (1901) was her lover.
She spent part of her childhood with the Kirwans of Castlehackett, County Galway, her mother's family, and drew on West of Ireland themes for many of her works. She occasionally used ‘Edith Lytton’ as pen name.

The London Companion, edited by Jo Swinnerton
'It is difficult to speak adequately or justly of London. It is not a pleasant place;
it is not agreeable, or cheerful, or easy, or exempt from reproach. It is only magnificent.'
~ Henry James
'From Edgware to Morden, Upminster to Ealing, no stone has been left unturned to bring you this astonishing collection of facts, figures and very tall stories about the incomparable city of London. All the world is here, from prehistoric animals to Viking kings, medieval riots to modern art.
Some capital facts:
When did elephants roam in Trafalgar Square?
Who sold Nelson's Column to an unsuspecting tourist?
When did a piranha fall out of the sky on to a London boat?
When did the Thames last freeze over?
Who was paid £3 a square yard to paint the Painted Hall in Greenwich?
Who was blamed for the Great Fire of London?
How many books are there in the British Library?
Who keeps a Northern Line tibe train in his back garden?
~ All these facts and more await the inquiring urban mind.'
[I was delighted with the morning light flooding into the drawing room this morning, and picked a few books to capture it; just as well, as the light moved to the other room within twenty minutes. And this is an endlessly fascinating book to delve into, even for a born and bred Londoner!]
Two great books on Southern Electric trains by Capital Transport in my collection, both great reads and illustrated with some very good photos too.

Through the hardships of the era, through birth and death, tragedy and triumph, a young woman seeks to hold on to faith and family; and a lonely man seeks family and faith.

I read this book when I was a teen and loved it. I picked it up today at HOBART INTERNATIONAL BOOKPORT in Hobart, New York (known as BOOK VILLAGE) and am reading it now. If you haven't read this book, I strongly recommend it.

The Most Beautiful Names of Allah, Samira Fayyad Khawaldeh. I bought this copy a few years' ago from Kitabistan Book Gallery in DHA, Lahore, although I've since bought many other copies in London to gift to family and friends. It explains and illustrates the meaning of each and every name attributed to the Almighty, and how to recite it. There are ninety-nine~99 attributed names.
