The Years at Spring
The days at the morn
The mornings at seven
The hillside's dew-pearled
The lark's on the wing
The snail'S on the thorn
Gods in His Heaven
ALPS right with the world
Each year at Spring I believe
we all think of Browning's Pippa
Passes not only as expressing SO
forcefully the season, but as one OF
the delightful, half remembered
things from our childhood. More al
another time of the difficulties In
volved in bringing the verse in Its
entirety to you - AS I said - II
always seems to be with us, but
only in snatches - gay, lifting
thing.
With Spring in my heart and
step - and having safely rounded
Pneumonia Corners, let's bounce
into the shops and see what we
shall see.

On the right hand wall, after
you enter East Martello Gallery
there is an extremely lovely bas
relief of the Madonna and Child
The beauty and authenticity Of
this rare and priceless objet d'art
is displayed to great advantage
against the almost one hundred
year old red brick of the Tower
This low relief has been traced
back to the 18th Century and il
attributed to Andrea Mantegna.
The Gallery acquired this ex
ceptional work of art from two O
our charming and favorite winter
residents who thought, and right
ly so, that the Gallery was lonl
on history, but a bit short on art
Thank you for doing such mag
nificent thing for Our Town.
