It's poetry; simply lovely and curiously haunting.

A lovely choice... Where did the manuscript cross your path?

[evensong]

i'm writing my thesis on Woolf at the moment (Between the Acts in particular actually), so i've spent many hours of quality time in the library with the manuscript :)

Hmmmm... That's vur' fascinating. I hope you'll tell me about the thesis...

I rather think I want to be inside a painting by Reynolds or Gainsborough.

[evensong]

i've always adored gainsborough--the texture of the silks and ruffles in his paintings. it was amazing to see the way those scenes caught the light when i last visited the huntington and saw them in person. (sigh) i wish i could be back there right now...

I do agree with you, lovely one.
