Duke_Bluebeard

I'm 50 years old. When I was young, I was in the Navy, then graduated from the University, I was working in the field of economic management, now I read Plutarch and Machiavelli, engaged in numismatics and calligraphy, smoking my pipe and drinking tea. I like European history, culture, opera music. You could send a card with a sailing ship, an admiral, or a naval battle. Ideally - maxi-card or envelope.
I write manually on postcards and want it back. I sign postcards calligraphy. Also paste the beautiful postage stamp with masterpiece.
I don't like post cards handmade, touristic, humor, cats, dogs and other cute trinkets. If you do not know what to write, then write some folk wisdom or idiom.
What do you think about Russian? It is customary to say that the Russian drink vodka with bears, instead of wood for the stove using nested dolls, and steamed in a bath with barbed wire. True fun?

Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,
As, to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,

And guilded honour shamefully misplaced,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,
And strength by limping sway disabled,

And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly doctor-like controlling skill,
And simple truth miscall'd simplicity,
And captive good attending captain ill:

Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.

(Shakespeare)
