Planning Ahead


Said Padre Martini, “It’s known

That my collection is now overgrown,

But though it’s immense,

In three hundred years hence,

I can scan the whole thing to my phone."

Vested Interest


Giovanni Battista Martini

Made certain that when he was seen, he

Was wearing a classic

Conventual cassock,

And a hat like a clerical beanie.
