Six big devils....




Six big devils from Japan quickly forgot how to waltz.
ma che bel gufo spenzola da quelle travi!
in quel campo ci son funghi in abbondanza!
 
 
A pangram (from the Greek "every letter) is a sentence using every letter of the alphabet at least once.
We have tried - very hard - to make pangrams that make sense to sum up the development of the English Language from its origins to Shakespeare's time.

this is my idea of journey now...
books are the plane, are the train, are your feet and your eyes, they are the road, they are the destination and the journey, they are home and away...they are a winding mountain path or a lonely shore...I have always travelled a lot in the past, I have seen many places and experienced different cultures that have taught me to be more tolerant towards mine and have opened my eyes and have helped me see my country under a new light...Some people say that "travel broadens the mind", that's true for reading as well...
let me know what you think...
