"Attempting to read this because of its significance in Diana Wynne Jones’s “Fire and Hemlock.” It’s kind of rough going so far, but the descriptions in tonight’s reading of a wide variety of superstitions around the world did get me thinking—how wonderful to be able to rely on an almighty God for food, safety, etc., instead of a host of “magical” rituals and taboos!"

"Reading these a few at a time—they take some chewing on! Favorites so far have been “Supposed Confessions of a Second-rate Sensitive Mind” (gorgeous “wrestling with God” poem in the midst of grief and turmoil) and “Mariana” (deliciously eerie, and with some early hints of ideas later explored more fully in “The Lady of Shalott”)."

“This memory was both happy and sad: happy because it was so pleasant, and sad because it made Penelope think about how much she missed Swanburne--the girls, the teachers, Miss Mortimer. Or perhaps it was her own much younger self, that pint-sized person whom she could never be again, whom she missed. It was hard to say.”
Maryrose Wood, The Mysterious Howling
