This morning I phoned a friend to wish her happy birthday. I didn’t know then that she shared the day with such illustrious people. Next time I phone I’ll let her know.

I know this is shallow, considering others are waxing eloquent about these literary giants…but…I love Maugham’s attire, especially his tie pin and wristwatch.
