Andy ,
It is not the tastes ,smells and memories of the past we long for.
These are just accessories for transportig us back.
It is ourselves we look for , little and innocent.
The street singer sang :
" Wi bisti gewen ,wen dus Geld is gewen,
Un dus Leben is gewen asoy siss ?"
Where have you been , when the money has been,
And life has been so sweet ?"
Yess, where have you been ?
Hardy
All this talk about Ribisel, Ribes, Currants, makes me feel as if I might
have been with the angels, at best it makes me feel like a Mongolian who
briefly visited to Czernowitz. I have never in my life heard of any of
these back home. I've heard of currants in the new world but have never had
any. In spite of some of your laudatory remarks, the mention of bitter and
sour decided me to remain with the angels in Mongolia. But it sounds like a
subject that would enliven conversation at a dull party.
Guten apetit.
Andy
