Reader Comments on Antiques: Valentines from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:12:40 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2007-01/home/valentines Lovely article and lovely idea. My husband and I exchanged them once and they are now in little frames by each of our dressers. One thing: the last sentence should read instead, "But they'll never ask the question, "Where's the love?"" "Begging the question" is a term used in logic and it means "to assume what has still to be proved." Here's an example from Bartleby: ?To say that we should help the region?s democratic movement begs the question of whether it really is democratic.?

Now I wonder if that street was named for Esther or her family. Our parents and teachers never mentioned E. Howland or her beautiful cards.We hope to see one some day. Thank you for another interesting article. Judy and Jay Foley DePere WI.

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:27:17 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2007-01/home/valentines There was a great Valentine poem printed in Yankee about 20 years ago. I can\'t remember the name of the author, but it was called simply \"A Valentine,\" with the subtitle \"after Heisenberg\". It begins: \"It is just good physics how, merely by observing, the observer changes the observed. Perhaps the human heart works onthe same principle...\" Does anybody remember this one? I sent it to my late wife when I was overseas, and would like to see it again (I\'ve long since lost the original...) Any help? Thanks ... LBH333 [at] HotMail [dot] Com.
