In the calm after the storm

Sorry for my post being repeated. I had some time-outs and didn't think my
message had been posted at the first two attempts. Then I found all three
had been sent!

Could we have some more Lucretius, please? I have to look back to the year
1966, when "De Rerum Natura" was a set book in Part One of my degree course.
I don't think I've looked at it much since then, but I enjoyed it very much
at the time.

Best wishes,

John Townsend

There's a full e:text of the Leanord Translation of "De Rerum Natura"
on Project Gutenberg

It can make a nice exercise in layout and book construction, to feed
favourite chapters from ebooks into a DTP program or maybe Word,
using a 2 page layout on A4 paper. And then getting the pages in the
correct order, mainly by copying and pasting,* so as to form signatures
which, when printed out on a nice faux laid paper, can be folded and
stitched into pamphlets for perusal at leisure.

* Possible I believe, but very complicated using standard DTP text
flow
