Savelyouchka, belong to no one in particular. THEY WERE CHOSEN FOR THEIR SOUND,

their syllables and their Russian typicality."

You said goodbye

Speaking of Islands of Pleasure.

... David du Busson (Chef d'protoco) [who wrote "Driehonderd jaar later - die nageslag van

David du Buisson in Suid-Afrika" (jmg ed.)]

tells me the Chinese have a saying that "life is a sea of misery with only a few islands of

pleasure to be found".
