Happy 89th birthday, Gabriel García Márquez!  It was a happy day in these United States of America when then-President William Jefferson Clinton lifted the travel ban (and “subversive” brand) from your shade in recognition of your moving and irrepressible style (in addition to a return to a general adherence to things like, oh, I don’t know, freedom of speech and the press?).  The world misses you, Gabito.

Happy 134th birthday, Virginia Woolf!  To the woman who brightened, soothed, disentangled, galvanized, and constantly astonished this stamp enthusiast as a youth; to the writer who reminded the world that it could “Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind”; and reminded women that “I need not hate any man; he cannot hurt me.  I need not flatter any man; he has nothing to give me”; to you, I sing, as Emily Saliers sings: “If you need to know that you weathered the storm/Of cruel mortality/A hundred years later I’m sitting here living proof.”
