While I would die of shock if I got roses or chocolates today (unless I bought them for myself of course), I hope that many of you out there are far luckier on this day for lovers. Remember as well as Valentines Day, it is also Library Lovers Day so give your local librarian a friendly smile – we really appreciate it and as the words of the advert go – you never know who you might get it back from.
Something a bit different today - a quick quiz especially for Valentines Day.
1. He was a fifth but favourite son. After his father’s death in 1627 he became Emperor. His favourite wife died giving birth to their 14th son. He satisfied her dying wish to build the world’s most beautiful mausoleum to her. Who are they and what is the building?
2. Her first great love died in a plane crash in 1958. She married her second great love twice and walked down the aisle six other times. She won two Oscars. And her name is…?
3. He was a little known 32 year old poet/playwright. She was an internationally renowned poet, invalid and 39 year old spinster. They secretly married in 1846 before moving to Italy. Their romance lasted 15 years and was the basis for such famous lines as “How do I love thee, Let me count the ways”. Who were they?
4. He met her in 1931 when she was still married to her second husband. He proposed to her in 1936. However after they married they lived in exile in France as he gave up his position in the family firm. Who were they?
