Brooke Astor B. 3.30.1902 Portsmouth, New Hampshire / D. 8.13.2007 Westchester Stress
One thing I hope I don't remember when I'm an old woman: the barn sale of my family's possessions when my father lost his job. Still within me and counting this loss of really my parents' possessions of value� things to keep away from thieves, the young and pets things that they'd kept in boxes, things they'd hoarded and now my father threw them on the pyre. Books, rare books so many books I'd never ever seen before� one ancient dark green folio disclosing watercolor drafts of Washington DC in the Egyptian style... I hope I don't remember when I'm eighty the arrival half an hour before the sale officially began of the book dealers, pale-fleshed and humorless unhappy people entropy people how they scooped how it seemed to me they plundered my inheritance while I made change. I don't want this memory to shake my ag�d frame.(2007) Consolation Site: Sleepy Hollow Must Update More
