We haven't been to the Getty Center, but have been to the Getty Villa Museum, which is beautiful.

I haven't been to California, but I've got Blake's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (a.k.a., "Oberon, Titania & Puck with Fairies Dancing") painting (seen in the Getty Center gallery) on my wall.

How could you not have been to California? The Getty Villa is like strolling through Herculaneum.

We see the painting in the small gallery view, but they don't see to have a separate slide for it. However, look at Blake's skill in painting people. His self-portrait could be a photograph.

I have a fear of flying.

I'm a long-time fan of Blake's artwork -- as evidenced by the covers of my books:

The shit runs
down my legs
Deep and black
last night's dumpster fare
rancid tuna
....I am the reason
you pinch your nostrils
I am
the shitstain.

How very 19th century of you! If you don't fly, you could drive or take a bus or train. The western part of the U.S. is spectacular. Much different geography from the East, but still beautiful. We have been through Canada too (we didn't know of George Dance at the time, or his Father's House, or we would have paid him a visit).

We are sure that Blake would be flattered to be on the covers of your books..

I can take enough consecutive vacation days to drive to CA and back. That is, to drive to CA, immediately turn around and start driving back.

Perhaps once I retire, I'll give it a try.

I hope so. Blake is one of my Three Greater Gods of Poetry (along with Poe and Whitman).

Shitstains never grow old. Or, if they do, George is always ready to refresh them.

If you won't fly, how can you participate in the Frosty Tour? We were counting on you as emcee. How can you go to see the Chaucer exhibit? Via luxury liner?

There is more to the country than New York (or, as someone called it the "Northeast."
