Life's Final Common Denominator, 7 Feb 2010
By Donald P. Jennings "Donaldo" - Published on Amazon.com
The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r,
And All that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour:
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.
Sublime!

This review is from: Elegy written in a country church-yard (Miniature books) (Hardcover)
I was more than happy when I received my purchase in the mail. The book was beautiful and in mint condition. It had some of the most wonderful wood block prints in it that I have ever seen. I wouldn't hesitate to order again, and again, and again!!!
