8.4.95 15.30 Philip's cafe (Wie Katoen)

Saturday afternoon.
     
     He is not here but his... presence is....

          ...reading, of all things, 
          
                   Ricks' edition of Milton (Penguin)...

... and now come in 5 middle-aged nice but uneducated men
in leather jackets, who sit at one table, and their fat and
Flemish faced wives, who sit at another. Very pleasant,
they, and this writing re Milton.  Revive, or re-create,
for me "the whole of the world".
