E' curioso. Quando ti ritrovi improvvisamente da sola in un letto a due piazze, all'inizio tendi a stare sempre nella "tua" metà. Tempo due o tre mesi e, al mattino, apri gli occhi e ti ritrovi nel mezzo, in diagonale o completamente dall'altra parte. Dalla disciplina dell'amore, al caos della singletudine. Riprendo la mia vita. Riprendo i miei spazi. Tutti. Per dividerli se voglio. Con chi voglio. Quando voglio. Spazi fisici e mentali. Libera. Di andare. Tornare. Restare. Scegliere ogni giorno chi vuoi essere. Senza schemi prestabiliti. Patti da onorare. Esserci e volerlo. Davvero. Con mente e corpo. Finalmente intera. Finalmente IO. Oggi vi do il buongiorno con questa. Buona domenica!

I am very pleased to announce a special event from The Bookplate Society. Send Bids or Questions to [email protected] Good luck with your bidding. Lew THE BOOKPLATE SOCIETY'S SUMMER AUCTION The Bookplate Society’s members’ auctions, three each year, offer a wide range of material, mostly British 18th and 19th century exlibris, but there are also Continental European and North American items. These sales are not open to non-members. Members either attend in person or bid in advance by email or post. However, the Society is doing something different this summer by holding an entirely web- and email-based auction, which on this occasion is open to non-members. Given that this is a manual system, lacking the software resources of eBay, the auction is being drawn out over ten weekly cycles of bidding, and participants can only submit one set of bids per week. Bidders are encouraged to bid for as many items as possible on the first occasion, because in subsequent weeks there is a restriction on the number of additional bids that can be placed. There is a further bias helping people who bid early, because in the event of equal bids the earlier bidder wins the day. The deadline for the first round of bids is Sunday, 2 June (6pm BST) and this auction ends on Sunday 4 August 2013 (6pm BST). To view the listings, go to www.bookplatesociety.org/WebAuction1.htm , and if you wish to join in the auction you will need to read the notes and write to the auction address. Non-members of the Society must register their details prior to emailing bids. This is an auction in slow-motion (!), but it will nevertheless be interesting to see how it works out. As the notes point out, this is not a commercial venture, but designed to offer bookplate collectors some summertime fun. Lot84 This bookplate of Morton and Helena Stephenson probably dates from about 1920. It is the work of Henry Justice Ford (1860–1941), portrait and landscape painter, also book illustrator. He has a short write-up in Wikipedia. Recourse to www.freebmd.org.uk soon established that the owners of this bookplate were Morton F G Stephenson (born Kensington, London, 1884) and Marion Helena née Deverell (born in 1885, also in Kensington), and they were married in 1916 in Central London. Lot # 59 Matilda Constance Ismay (1877, New York -1963, England) was the sister-in-law of Bruce Ismay (1862-1939), chairman and managing director of the White Star Line. He attracted severe moral opprobrium and was ostracised after the Titanic disaster. Not only was he in no small part responsible for the lack of provision of lifeboats, but he was among the survivors, notwithstanding the loss of many women and children. Daughters of George Richard Schieffelin and Julia Matilda née Delaplaine, the two Schieffelin sisters, Matilda Constance Schieffelin and Julia Florence Schieffelin, married two Ismay brothers, Charles Bower Ismay (1874 - 1924) and Joseph Bruce Ismay. Matilda married Charles in New York in 1900.
