ANCIENT TREES AND THE MOON

Here is a little something to do with trees and performance writing. A bit of the oldest tree in Paris which is in a park just round the corner from Shakespeare & Co. book shop on the left bank in Paris. On the pavement was some left over tree material which created a pile of performance writing detritus. 


Herschel
Also let us not forget the "The Great Moon Hoax" which began on the 25th August 1835. This refers to a series of six articles that were published in the New York Sun beginning on 25th August 1835, about the supposed discovery of life and even civilization on the Moon. The discoveries were falsely attributed to Sir John Herschel, perhaps the best-known astronomer of his time.
