Happy birthday to essayist and poet Hillaire Belloc, b. 1870, who wrote, "When I am dead, I hope it may be said: / His sins were scarlet, but his books were read."

"[People] propound theorems in beleaguered cities, conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on scaffolds, discuss the last new poem while advancing to the walls of Quebec, comb their hair at Thermopylae. This is not panache: it is our nature." - C.S. Lewis

Happy birthday to Ernest Hemingway, who once said, "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."

On July 19, 1799, Napoleonic soldiers discovered the Rosetta Stone in Egypt, describing a council of priests in Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and Egyptian demotic. This is one intersection of religion and literature that shouldn't be taken for 'granite'!
