What does the fox say?

·

Peculiar was this reading… peculiar indeed. I don’t often find myself picking up works such as these. It reminded me of almost a Shelley type, you know, it included the gothic theme used by his wife but revolved on something as ordinary as… two woman living in a farm? And without a man at all,… View More

Oh, The Great Mariner
