I couldn't help it. I can't afford a teaspoon right now, but I had to e-mail him to ask about an orrery. Doesn't it just seem right and proper that there should be one? Articulated, moving, each heavenly body a glass globe holding something different, something right.

I don't need to own it - though if I got it, I know who I'd give it to - I just want it to exist somewhere.

I am glad to hear that The Stuffed Owl is back in print. For one thing, that will let me look up the author of one of my favorite pieces, "The Convalescent Gypsy." I only know the last verse. Imagine how good it must be in its entirety:

There we leave her,
There we leave her,
Far from where her swarthy kindred roam,
In the scarlet fever
Scarlet fever
Scarlet fever convalescent home.
