"Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum

~ * Theatre
Of the World * ~

Is considered the first true atlas in the modern sense ~
A collection of uniform map sheets
And sustaining text bound to form a book
For which copper printing plates were specifically engraved.

The Ortelius atlas is sometimes
Referred to as the summary of sixteenth-century
Cartography."

Huck: ...if we was going so fast we ought to be past Illinois,
oughtn't we?

Tom: Certainly.

Huck: Well we ain't.

Tom: What's the reason we ain't?

Huck: I know by the color. We're right over Illinois yet.
And you can see for yourself that Indiana ain't in sight.

Tom: I wonder what's the matter with you, Huck.
You know by the color?

Huck: Yes I do.

Tom: What's the color got to do with it?

Huck: It's got everything to do with it. Illinois is green, Indiana
is pink.
You show me any pink down here, if you can.
No sir; it's green.

Tom: Indiana pink? Why, what a lie?

Huck: It ain't no lie; I've seen it on the map, and it's pink.

Depending upon your recipient.
It's on Twittering's Top 10 list.

I sincerely hope that helps."

Yes, for my recipient it helps, a lot.

I looked at a copy and ended up buying it. Looks beautiful. Thanks
for the heads-up, Twitty. Although it wasn't immediately clear where
they hid the running workouts.

Wong Kar-Wai triple feature today. Learned about the bird which that
flies and flies all its life, and only lands when it dies.

Purty bydie Too!

you birthed me, and I am nurtured of the inhalations of flutter,
invisible fruitfulness; To know known Nature, of my precocity, for if

For you are mine, for, O, Love, I live for you, if thy love lofty, mine
loftier for you, if the love oft love of loft's often lost paths, but
never traveled enough, for, of Love's lofty ascent my heart is meant
