It reminds me of my son every time I see it and the lovely few days we spent with him on the Gold Coast recently.<br /><br />About the house; yes, that's what fascinated me, that it would remain in a city of tall buildings. But Greenwich Village is unique; we must try to include that on our trip.alaine@éclectiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367208674281749257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977933539325461111.post-18741987928939378192009-09-20T07:43:24.608+10:002009-09-20T07:43:24.608+10:00Steven, I'll definitely have to do the same - ...Steven, I'll definitely have to do the same - after I've finished Geisha; I'm just into it!alaine@éclectiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367208674281749257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977933539325461111.post-77671089075270005822009-09-20T07:41:46.569+10:002009-09-20T07:41:46.569+10:00Susan, thanks for that link; I had a look and have...Susan, thanks for that link; I had a look and have bookmarked that site, as I love architecture and interiors. That house is so teeny; I'd probably get claustrophobia living there.<br /><br />About NYC, thanks but I'm nervous about getting lost! I've been studying the maps and places to see but I'll have to sit down and pick 6 places to see and maybe take a bus tour or, if the weather's OK, a cruise.alaine@éclectiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367208674281749257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977933539325461111.post-15739873516678226012009-09-20T02:00:04.208+10:002009-09-20T02:00:04.208+10:00I find it odd that I find it fascinating ... . bu...I find it odd that I find it fascinating ... . but, I do!<br />Perhaps it has something to do with it being so small in a city that's known for everything BIG.<br />Love the new banner ... ..studioJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560914513878435960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977933539325461111.post-90688852710582658132009-09-20T01:43:24.545+10:002009-09-20T01:43:24.545+10:00Hi Alaine,

It does not state that "...Harp Weaver" was written there, only that it was written by Millay. Ann McGovern is totally wrong. "The King's Henchman" was not written in the house in the Village at all. Millay did not begin work on that until well after she moved to Austerlitz, NY. It was done at the invitation of Deems Taylor, the composer, after his commission for an opera by the Metropolitan Opera in 1926.Peter Bergmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977933539325461111.post-47470305088851126392009-09-19T11:47:48.525+10:002009-09-19T11:47:48.525+10:00You know, Edna St. Vee and I are simpatico!
