O. Douglas, Penny Plain
“Probably what you write will be much pleasanter to read than the outpourings of a facile pen.”
O. Douglas, The Proper Place
“It's like something in a fairy-tale," she complained to Pamela. "You are given a fairy palace, but when you try to go to it mountains of glass are set before you and you can't reach it”

“But sometimes it feels as if we comfortable people are walking on a flowery meadow that is really a great quaking morass, and underneath there is black slime full of unimagined horrors. A photograph in the newspaper makes a crack and you see down. The War made a tremendous crack. It seemed then as if we were all to be drawn into the slime, as if cruelty had got its fangs into the heart of the world.”
O. Douglas, Penny Plain
