CUPID TAKES WING IN THE BIG APPLE
Sweet cupid flits about on wings and lifts us up to higher things. The heart more generous than
the mind to new adventures be so inclined. For here and there it never fails where love prevails,
for does it not follow, does it not? Who does not hate a narrow mind lets' trip to culture and be
refined. Here's the scoop!!!
Lovers of history let me introduce you to Georgio Vasari, a child of the Renaissance, this 16th
century architect and painter actually coined that term and would also be known as a
"Renaissance Man." Come to the Browning Society's Wednesday meeting and hear Professor
Glen Alan Omans speak about the biography Vasari wrote about Andrea del Sarto. Vasari was a
source for the poems by Robert Browning's Fra Lippo Lippi and Old Pictures in Florence. At
