My husband is dead. I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car. My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.

He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops.

Platone ci descrive un simposio di stampo tradizionale. L'intrattenimento di questa serata sarà costituito da una serie di elogi su Amore-Eros.
