Anni fa regalai alcuni segnalibri-puzzle a un buon conoscente, un anziano, pensoso e malinconico poeta, gran lettore di Borges. I sette segnalibri autonomi, stampati fronte-retro, ritagliati verticalmente e poi plastificati, se affiancati correttamente riproducono il disegno riportato sopra, una rappresentazione della Biblioteca di Babele.

Recently, she had on Democratic Strategist, Reverend Jacques Degraff, who certainly did not hold back his sentiments about what Elisabeth was saying.
