“Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile."
“Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile." ― William Cullen Bryant (Bryant Park)
The Rolling Stone's Keith Richards knows that reading is fundamental.

Bryant is ours. He’s locally grown (born in Cummington: 1st poem published in the Daily Gazette) & he changed the world in positive ways by founding American literature (w/Thanotopsis), by bankrolling and encouraging Hudson School founder Thomas Cole, and by introducing an unknown senator named Abraham Lincoln to NYC’s power elite @ Cooper Union.
The North American Review, which started in 1815 and ran without interruption until 1940, was the first American magazine devoted entirely to literature. Massachusetts native William Cullen Bryant published his first poems—including “To a Waterfowl” (1821) and “Thanatopsis,” his most famous work—in early issues.

Cocker Spaniels
Woman's Home Companion Magazine from March 1937. Great cover of two Cocker Spaniels—one black, one light brown.
My best friend was a Cocker, that was the 1950's. His name was Tugwell, we called him "Tuggy". He had a most beautiful long golden (or red?) coat. His namesake was Rexford Tugwell. In 1932 Tugwell was invited to join President Franklin Roosevelt's team of advisers known as the Brain Trust. After Roosevelt's inauguration in 1933, Tugwell was appointed first as Assistant Secretary and then in 1934 as Undersecretary of the United States Department of Agriculture. (I have no idea why my sister chose the Tugwell name)
