This is a very old two-storied log cabin... Woven all through his poems are scattered bits of old legends..."Shepherdess" he'd ride the furrows at a dead run sowing the grain with both hands -- exactly as we heard of a rancher down there..."Roan Stallion"...that happened to an Indian-Mexican girl who married a Dutchman... We were walking up San Jose Creek one day and came on an abandoned house with some calla lillies growing beside it...I found out a man had been killed there years ago by his stallion and the house left empty ever since -- RJ thus got the germ of "Roan Stallion"...Onorio Vasquez who comes into several stories was drawn at the first from a man down the Coast we knew slightly...

Thirteenth century Italian poet....gees, crow....I'm so far behind you now!....Fourteenth century monetary systems maybe ... the reader should understand what the rise in price in silver in 1345-1347 meant to the Florentine economy. The great economic expansion between the mid-thirteenth century had been favored...by the rising quotation of the gold florin, which in 1252 was worth 240 denari..and by beginning of fourteenth century had risen to about 780. Carlo Cipolla ...ok so this is a fake pass that isn't getting me to the jeopardy prize for 13th century It. poets...ok a desparate gesture...huff, huff.... Onward...
