Merry Christmas to you all! Well, I hope you had a festive one! I am in Budapest at the moment - or sometimes in Buda, and sometimes in Pest. The only word I know in Hungarian is the word for happiness: "boldog". It is written up everywhere ...
A lost cinema classic (1934) with Ronald Colman. Didn't he emigrate to Balmain before WWII? There is a green tractor battling through the snow outside. It is trailing a salt spreader. If you fell asleep in the parking lot now the crows would eat you. Where did you find that old coin? It has a likeness of Bela IV stamped on it. Another Hungarian word is "jobb" meaning "right" (as opposed to left). Saint Istvan's mummified right hand is on view. If I had paid the beggar a few florints, he would have illuminated the altar. But I didn't.

Hence the famous hero of Hongarian literature, Boldog Drummond.

The poetry is at you, like hunger.
