"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!" — Apr 10, 2025 10:11PM

"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”)." — Apr 09, 2025 07:19PM

“What you feel about another person, what you think or say about another person, what you do to another person – you do to you. Give judgment and criticism and you give it to yourself. Give love and appreciation to another person or anything, and you give it to yourself.”

“When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties.”

“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.”
