...opens his windows, prays, and takes a cold shower. He shaves with an electric razor. While he shaves, a goldfinch named Gretel-one of five small pet birds he keeps-perches on his arm as it moves with the razor.* Until he goes to sleep in his simple brass bed between 12 and 2 a.m., Gretel is his only entertainment. He rarely listens any more to the records from his fine collection (favorites: Bach, Brahms, Wagner), and he has given up poetry and the classics (favorite: Virgil) for the lives of the saints. During his hour's daily walk...
...this script, it was the thought of the little woman waiting at the gate of the air base after every mission that kept the boys flying. Except for a few routine shots of some gleaming Sabres, the film is devoted to a lot of thick talk about getting to bed early and to some aggressively cheerful gynecologic humor: "Oh, morning sickness the whole darn day"; "There's nothing wrong with me that three, more months won't cure."

...often makes sound Gallic sense anyway. When a young girl proves too bashful to take off her clothes for the artist painting a nude of her, the painter displays exquisite French delicacy by discreetly peeking into her dress.

Now her plane from Paris was over New York, whose myriad lights were so brilliant that it was as if "all the stars in the sky were rolled out over the ground." Still dazzled when the plane landed, the queen alighted, sped into the city, and, feeling estranged, could not quite believe she was there. "This city and Paris." she wrote in her diary, "were not linked...
...Love and Poesy" from the age of 15, Burns was in his mid-20s when he developed "a wishing eye to that inestimable blessing, a wife. My mouth watered deliciously to see a young fellow, after a few idle, commonplace stories from a gentleman in black, strip & go to bed with a young girl, & no one durst say black was his eye; while I, for just doing the same thing, only wanting that ceremony, am made a Sunday's laughingstock, & abused like a pickpocket." The abuse came from the parents of a master mason's daughter named Jean...
